Today's National Poetry Day, with this year's theme being dreams.Do you have a favourite poem on this theme? Please use the "Comment" function on this blog to let us know about it. Rather despite myself my favourite poet remains the bard and tragedian William McGonagall but I'm blessed if I can recall any of his poems on this theme.
Anthologies of English poetry in our libraries.

Ah... the bard. I agree.
You might also relish J.Gordon Coogler ("Poems Written While You Wait"). His How Strange Are Dreams! includes the baffling:
How strange are dreams! I dreamed the other night
A dream that made me tremble,
Not with fear, but with a kind of strange reality,
My supper, though late, consisted of no cheese.
I wouldn't swear to it but he probably appears in Stephen Robins' "The World's Worst Poetry" which is a pretty comprehensive anthology of the type!
It does indeed, you're right.
Thanks!
