Death of The Dreamer

A Triolet Poem by Torrey Kurtzner

 

Procrastination killed the dreamer in his sleep.

The fantasy life he’d dreamt is long gone.

It could have been real if he’d taken a leap.

Procrastination killed the dreamer in his sleep.

Instead he lived a life too unworthy to keep.

A dreamer can’t fly with his dreams at dawn.

Procrastination killed the dreamer in his sleep.

The fantasy life he’d dreamt is long gone.
