DANCING ISLES (photomorph) & STILLER WATER (non-dream free verse poem) by Roswila

STILLER WATER

stiller water out
beyond the heavily
breaking waves
beckons her

she lifts the surfboard
holding it at an angle
trying to get past        get past
slip over and through
what is already broken

to wait in the shimmering
stillness of the possible
for a wide curl
to ride artfully
down

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,
