Untitled photo & INSIDE OUT (non-dream tanka) by Roswila

INSIDE OUT

this lengthy drought needs
more than one heavenly gift
to end it, but still ...
waking to the welcome sound
of tires on the rain slick street


[non-dream tanka written 12-2-14. Untitled photo (12-2-14 021v3) by Roswila; taken this morning after writing the tanka and only shared here to show that rain slick street (and the "disappeared" mountains)]

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,
