FOLLOWING THE PATTERN (photo) & LOST SHEEP (free verse dream poem) by Roswila

LOST SHEEP

Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep ...
or at least the sure footed ewe
who leads all her dreams
into the gated green pasture
of morning recall

one can only imagine them all
wandering aimlessly about
in the borderless wilds,
not even conscious enough
to know that they're lost

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,
