Thank you for being a delightful Poetry Nap Member.
Are you ready for another tantalizing and hypnagogic journey with us, Lady and Lord Dosis, on the glorious Dandy Duchess, our gigantic hot air balloon bed? Are you ready to unbutton rapture and behold insight? In this season we will magically drift with you through time and space to an ancient land where we will reach, touch, and discover long lost—and intoxicatingly sensual—kin.
We will lift the weights of joy and abandon while meeting the highest lady of the land who invites us to a mystical and mythical cocktail party where the dream loves of our lives eagerly and unabashedly await.
As you savor the taste on your tongue, the sweet taste with the bitter,
you will not only dive into the depths of the sultry and sparkling underland, but simultaneously we will experience the ecstatic expanse of the entire universe, while being pleasantly surprised by a friendly, familiar, and evocative old friend.
All of this while you rest, relax, let go, and—nap, if you’d like. Sweet dreams.
Note: Season 2 may or may not be for your children. Why don’t you first listen to it, and see what you think.
