LOST IN MEMORY (photomorph) & NEW EMPHASES (mixed format dream poem) by Roswila

NEW EMPHASES

nothing stays the same
not even the photos I so
carefully edit:
each time I come back to one
it's morphed, one way or another

even as I've heard
a waking memory changes
when called upon,
already pruned by tight storage
and starting to sprout new emphases

the memory's demonstration
of life's mysterious momentum

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,
