My exchange with Jill continues! Here is what her “Consider your daughters: A Zombie fable” inspired (the title is a line from Jill’s poem):

Only after writing it, did I realize that I’d already written about talking in sleep. Just a few days ago as you can see by this digest of the poems in chronological order (Sheesh! For a while I was stuck on the weather, and now, I’m stuck on sleep):

years ago a friend said her boyfriend told her she said in her sleep “French sheets” in a plaintive voice, which became a running gag among our group of friends at the time. Some time after that I used “French sheets” in a poem as if they are a real thing — they aren’t, are they?
sadly, both my cultural education (Europe) and my domestic education (linens) are lacking, so i don’t know. 🙂
This is wonderful, Carolee.
(I know, I know, that’s what I always say. But if you want variety, write some other kind of poem!)
Love this one so much.
