Dreams of Dali
As I slowly drift to sleep
I trip and fall into foolish dreams.
Where before I counted sheep,
Now I’m caught in torpid schemes.
Dicing with devils in denim hats
Breaking bread with brazen cats
Dancing Dangerously with diplomats.
Oh! What crazy capers my mind unleashes
When lost in a world of lucid dreaming,
Melted clocks and Dali-esque pastiches
Then Suddenly I awaken screaming.
Though darkness fills my dreaming mind,
There’s nothing darker than humankind.

A really frightening dream. A very well matched picture. How did you do that?

I’m a fan of Salvadore Dali, that was one of his pictures, it was free on pixabay. I much prefer Dali to Picasso. 🙂

I have no preference on the art that I cannot understand. I guess that makes me unappreciative of these masters.

Thank you. I’m piggybacking onto a cultural Icon, but I am such a fan of his work and there’s no other artist I can think of that has captured dreams so well. 🙂

I am a big fan of Dali too! I do however think that his paintings reflect his thoughts and life. He was most bizarre! We have a beautiful Dali Museum a short ay from here in St.Petersburg. I have been there on several occasions. 🙂
