Cray-Oh-LAH! (photo art) & LEAPING TO THE OCCASION (free verse dream poem) by Roswila

LEAPING TO THE OCCASION

his little dog really takes to me
and me to him (the latter
quite unusual I note) following
behind me closely and leaping
to any occasion to be petted

maybe that's why I go with
my attraction to his master
despite what some might call
low self esteem, but I think of
as my early warning radar

(or maybe it's just time
again for a sexy dream, yes,
that must be it)

I return to the office
of this politician of questionable repute
ready for once just to play around
together and steam up his windows


[free verse poem on a dream of 3-9-14. This dream was vaguely lucid (aware I was dreaming) in the two places in parentheses. But quickly succumbed again to the regular dreaming state. The rest is censored. :-D Photo art "Cray-Oh-LAH!" (5-9-12 11931ev2) by Roswila]

PLEASE NOTE: in most browsers you can click on the above image for a larger version. Also, the photo accompanying a post is not necessarily meant to illustrate it, but to reflect some small, even slant aspect of the verse, similar to Japanese haiga (illustrated haiku).

There are many other sorts of posts on this blog. I indicate which are about or influenced by dreams. Some non dream focused posts are book reviews, "regular" poems (some by other writers, as the above is), scifaiku, writing exercises, Tarot haiku, photos, haiga, and so on. However, most of those are in much older posts. There's a listing by month going back to early 2006, at the end of the sidebar.

until next time, keep dreaming,
