Of course, one of the reasons I keep a blog is to keep me writing, on the theory that as long as the words keep pouring forth, eventually they will learn to dance. One of the reasons I’m on facebook is to try and get people to read my blog. Lately, I’ve been adding more and more poets and poetry groups and literary magazines and stuff like that. I can’t really say it was deliberate in the beginning, just that they were the ones most likely to accept my friend requests. Now, though, I see it as a golden opportunity, so I intend to try and use my blog for poetry more often.
Here’s a little sonnet called “The Caveman’s Dreams”
Cave Paintings at Lascaux, France (approximately 17,000 B.C.)
The naked apes began to walk the plains
A hundred thousand years ago or more
How odd it must have felt that they had brains
No creature had had such a thing before
Intellectual curiosity
Science, religion and magic and art
Long ago in the days of prehistory
These four fields were not kept apart
They painted pictures that were more than art
Pictures of the animals they killed
Magic and religion played a part
As the world became the subject of their will
How very strange existence must have seemed
When they slept, I wonder what they dreamed

Very nice. It seems certain that animals do dream, we see our dog jerk, bat her paws, and growl in her sleep. She is probably reliving her time at the ‘dog park’ where she runs free, fast, and with lots of other dogs.
