Dime Novel Dreams
There was a time
long ago, when
I’d say my prayers and
go to sleep dreaming of
my lady fair
whoever it happened
to be that day
I’d just rescued her
from Tommy the school bully
Fu Manchu or Moriarty
by Green Lantern’s ring
and the Shadow’s fire
opal girasol – weeding out the
bitter fruit of crime
and that while meeting
and then saving my
beloved from the
hideous designs of
monstrous villainy in
my dime novel
dreams

I remember those days long ago. Concocting stories in my head until sleep decided to stop me. Wonderful poem, Liam. Brought a nostalgic smile. 😌
