night drinks of an inky well
her feathered speech
a dark soliloquy
settles upon my tongue
the only bridge
between tomorrow
and yesterday's dream

This is a lovely write ...
and it would be difficult to find anything here to change (although I'd change "of an inky well" to "from an inky well" if it were my poem.
However, other than that, it's perfect as is.

i understand this one so very well...almost as if it's my words through your pen, Karen. How beautifully soft your voice comes across - as always

You dear lady even when it is sad it is still speaking so softly that a feather might fall and we'd hear it C

It was very quiet when I wrote this, and I could hear more than I wanted...

The image of night taking the time to write the words we tell our dreams comes across an artist’s personfication of night to act as a simile of their own creative imagination speaking to them. This space of time when we stop creating reality and seek repose. Dreams still come unheeded as our spirit plays with possibilty.
Love the title and the way it sways the piece. Gracious and full of flourish the dreams become full of hope as opposed to the factual intent of Times New Roman.
Love, Tom B.

Times New Roman...faxed in black and white! I dream in color, like four o'clocks and cornflowers.

Gorgeousness, Karen.

aw, thank you....and for the spelling, too!

If her fleeting, or couched words are all that links one to tomorrow's hope, that is unfortunate for it's most likely a fool's dream. Without knowing the particulars I'd offer a match and a gallon of gasoline to set the bridge ablaze and look for someone without feathered speech -- someone who writes in nice clear freehand.
Of course it probably means something other than how I read it.

Your radar is spot-on! Some bridges are better off burned.... Thank you, Yem. It's good to see you here, my friend. I need to get back in the flow of the poetry and friends here.
