This is a Haibun of 44 words for Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday, using synonyms for play and guess, and for dVerse’s Quadrille Monday, where De Jackson asked us to use the word bounce.
It’s been a stressful couple weeks. Thoughts bounce about in my brain, as I try to sleep. My cat is nestled beside me, and his soft snores echo in my dreams. Time and space now speculative.

Yesterday and today: Merril's historical musings 
Carefree dreams – good medicine.
Yes, I’m often really amused by my dreams. 🙂
I like the thought of the cat’s snores echoing in one’s dreams.
Thank you, Frank.
I feel the easy breathing in this, echoing your cat’s sweet snores. Wonderful.
Thanks so much, De!
Oh, I loved the kitty snores! What a great feeling that gave me. Well done, Merril! ❤
Thanks so much, Colleen!
Little kitty snores are comforting for some reason, not annoying little people snores. I start pushing and punching at my husband when he snores. Hahaha.
LOL! Don’t we all? 😀
Cheers to your cat providing comfort and inspiration.
Thank you, Frank.
Sweet dreams
Thank you, Derrick. 🙂
But aren’t we lucky to have frolicking ideas? (Even if they wake us up along with the cat’s snores…) 🙂
Thank you, Pam. Yes, to frolicking ideas!
The cat snores are actually soothing. 🙂 And I am often amused by my dreams, and so, wake up happy.
AMUSing dreams are sooo wonderful. Mine sometimes seem more conFUSing. :-0 🙂
😉
This was such a light-hearted, cheery combination of actual sleeping situation and dreamy fantasies, Merril. You, husband and kitty make pleasant bedfellows.
Thank you, Robin! 🙂
