TREE & BUILDING (photomorph) & SEEN & UNSEEN (non-dream free verse poem) by Roswila

SEEN AND UNSEEN

the eyes neither fully see nor rest
as they sample the intoxicating world
tiny flickers refreshing
each perception ...

the palms stilled against the sky
the empty shadows
sunlight lounging on the white brick walls ...

there, what's changing now
each flicker tumbling behind the others,
both seen and unseen, water into water

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,
