BRANCHING OUT (photo) & "palm frond shadows..." (non-dream tanka) by Roswila

palm frond shadows
on the aqua pool water
waving waving
my camera tucked away
no capturing these moments


[non-dream tanka written 4-7-14. To my amusement I note though I may have resisted the urge to get out my camera, I did not resist writing a poem. I've drafted haiku and tanka overlooking the pool often enough that almost as soon as I sit down my brain starts percolating one. Photo "Branching Out" (4-3-14 005v3) 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,
