THE GATE (photomorph) & "blue sky with blinding ..." (non-dream tanka) by Roswila

blue sky with blinding
white clouds above the coursing
haze-capped horizon
summer temperatures
beat spring to the gate


[non-dream tanka written 3-19-15. I have a lengthy dream poem all ready for posting (from one of the dreams of the night before last that I'd not been inspired at first to write about). However, it's not at all congruent with my mood at the moment. I was just out in a rather beautiful, more like summer than almost spring day. And thought I'd post instead what came to me as I was sitting in the sun, overlooking our retirement community's pool. Photomorph "The Gate" (7-31-09 CIMG0212v11) 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,
