DOWNSTREAMING (photomorph) & "the soft slosh-sloshing..." (non-dream tanka pair) by Roswila

the soft slosh-sloshing
of a lazy swimmer,
light dappling the pool,
a New Year's resolution:
to remember gratitude

it's been said that what
one does this day, one does
through the coming year
may it be so: drafting tanka
by the pool in warm sunlight

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,
