Lullaby

Goodnight and good sleep little one Off to bed, no tears to cry Dream your dreams until dawn sun This is an attempt at lullaby My best I swear I'll try I believe they start with falling cradles Or mockingbirds that cannot sing No guitars or drums so playing ladles No diamonds, so brass will be your ring How many sweet dreams could these bring.... So as you are hurtling down from high Or trying to ignore an off key bird Banging pots with utensils, not sure why A looking glass has helped I've heard But that also seems absurd Lullabies seem sad and sometimes tragic An Odd combination to allow Maybe there should be more magic So if you fall from a breaking bough I promise I'll always catch you somehow March 14, 2023 L words poetry contest Sponsor: Constance La France
