Dismiss those clumsy dreams
A fool’s mate is overrated
Allow a peace meeting
Let memories flutter around
Escape if you need to
Survey the area, squeak through
Then vanish the shadow
that got stuck to your sight
Rub your eyes with reality
Face north with a smile
Send the pigeons ahead
Treat yourself with a laugh

Love the line…a fool’s mate is over-rated. Well wordled.
Thank you, Sabra. I am glad you liked that line. I was trying to play with the meaning of the word “fool” and the chess term “fool’s mate”.
Ooh, I like this: “Rub your eyes with reality”
A reality check can not hurt!
Sounds like some great advice.
Thanks, Laurie.
Wonderful! Thanks for the advice, I love sending pigeons ahead…such a victory messengers! Thanks, very uplifting!
Glad you liked it!
Step-by-step instructions filled with imagery and wisdom. This reads well, flows down the page until the poet wants it to stop. Each of your couplets contain a sparkling little gem of wordplay that trips your reader into following where you lead. Good stuff,

Thank you, Elizabeth.
Face everything (not only north) with a smile and life will be much better.
You are right. 🙂
Reality can be harsh. But the alternative…
tough one…
so many captivating images and thoughts..i particularly like the idea of a peace meeting
Somehow I felt that it could be important to give the “peace” title to a meeting before participating in it.
Reporting back is the hard part…
