ANOTHER FINE MESS (photomorph) & THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS (mixed format dream poem) by Roswila

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS

oops! (embarrassing)
as my roommate vacuums
she comes up against
a massively dusty recess
in the wall of our long hall

I take the machine
from her and start working
at the piled up mess
sheesh! will I find ancient fossil
remains in these layers of dust?

well, I guess this is what happens when things
build up, unaddressed as they go down

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,
