Once upon my wildest dreams
I jumped and fell in love -
A love that shone as greatly
As the bright red sun above.
It was early on an autumn morn
When I first took this leap;
The leaves were dry and yellow
And the sky began to weep.
Yet the dreary, melancholy weather
I simply did not see,
For more important so than breathing
Was this love to me.
Yes early on an autumn morn
In a campsite, draped in dew,
I fell in love with autumn
When I fell in love with you.
I jumped and fell in love -
A love that shone as greatly
As the bright red sun above.
It was early on an autumn morn
When I first took this leap;
The leaves were dry and yellow
And the sky began to weep.
Yet the dreary, melancholy weather
I simply did not see,
For more important so than breathing
Was this love to me.
Yes early on an autumn morn
In a campsite, draped in dew,
I fell in love with autumn
When I fell in love with you.
About a year ago, I was given a list of random words and told I had to incorporate them all into a 16 line poem. This was the result. I don't remember all the required words but I know some were love, wildest dreams, red, yellow, campsite, melancholy, and jump, and breathe.
