Octpowrimo #6 - Dream

1865 illustration of Hop-o'-My-Thumb and the ogre by Alexander Zick

Villanelle poetry form - rhyme scheme: A1 b A2 / a b A1 / a b A2 / a b A1 / a b A2 / a b A1 A2.

Sunken depths of darkness lure me farther,
All remnants to reality snap!
hardly resisting slumber, dreaming in the midnight hour

Timid tales create a world 
The show's opening curtains flap!
Sunken depths of darkness lure me farther.

The mighty King has tokens hurled
As the court jesters clap!
hardly resisting slumber, dreaming in the midnight hour

Blooming roses with petals unfurled,
Lay across the Princess's lap!
Sunken depths of darkness lure me farther.

The mighty Dragon found curled,
Amidst treasures, snoring as he naps!
hardly resisting slumber, dreaming in the midnight hour

Invested in the story, dancer twirled,
King trades his crown for a cap!
Sunken depths of darkness lure me farther,
hardly resisting slumber, dreaming in the midnight hour!
