Daydream is the concluding poem in a series of four poems written by international students at INTO Newcastle University
Sailing through the endless sky, I saw stars twinkle in daylight. Or did the sun drop its chandelier? Diamonds, were scattered everywhere. I woke up before dawn, bathing in honey sunshine. I ate ocean breeze and drank moonlight. In my sleep waves sang my lullaby I became a jellyfish. Wielding my staff, I kidnapped the mermaid’s confidants. This proclaimed villain only wanted to earn a living. But the God of the sea didn’t like my job He made me his enemy. The raging storm painted darkness Thunder clapped in the background Trident drew some blazing strokes And swallowed my little house. Kim My Linh Vu
