this night charles is a traveler
adrift in the mists of time
in a rough-hewn dory of his mortality
curiosity is his poleman
overcome by insecurity
charles has abandoned his reality
to sail beyond the mystery
drawn to the light of clarity

I like the repetition – the recurring dream theme.
I like mortality as the dory and curiosity as the poleman. Thanks for a second take on this prompt!
I like this one.It has an ethereal quality,a clarity and simplicity that makes an impact.
I like the idea of mortality as rough hewn. That can take you all sorts of places.

Hi Rob,
This is my favourite of your two RWP poems.
What struck me was your repetition and expansion on the first poem, and also your end-line rhyme in the second stanza. Rock on with two poems. Well done this week.

Curiosity is the poleman is wonderful line.
