SUSPENDED (photo) & QUESTIONING (dream tanka series w/2-liner) by Roswila


QUESTIONING

a twelve question list
hangs in the air before her,
each, one of her life's
major issues requiring
her careful attention

they are all, oddly,
type set in black and white
when the emotional
impact of color would
be much more expected

and they march neatly
to the right edge of the page,
nary a question
mark going beyond, except
for issue number seven

seven goes over
the edge, dragging the eye from
airy mentation
into the deeps where fears
of self-termination lurk

she believed she'd dealt
with this question ages ago
and truly she had
for it warns only to remember
or be doomed to go over it

then question six grabs
her eye, it too tumbling past
its allotted space,
into a strangely enticing void
that glimmers infinitely

she looks back briefly
before following the arc
of six off the edge,
it's well past time to embody
this one in concerted action

to give generously of her effort and time
even if she never meets up with an answer


[tanka series capped by a two-liner on a dream of 3-13-15. Tarot associations heavily inform this dream for me, via the numbers. 12 = The Hanged Man (supported also by the list "hanging" in the air); 7 = I immediately thought of the Seven of Swords; and 6 = I immediately thought of the Six of Pentacles. The Hanged Man being the major influence and one of the Major Arcana in the Tarot led me to boil this dream down to that last two lines. As The Hanged Man (and to a large degree the dream) is largely about ego suspension. Ego with a very little "e," that is, attachment to and investment in conscious thoughts and beliefs. There's a mountain of stuff in this dream based on these Tarot associations (not to mention other things), so I'll have to end these comments here. BTW, if you're curious about these Tarot cards just search for them one at a time on my Tarot Gallery & Journal (blog search box is in upper left). Each has several posts I've made about it.

BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO DREAMKU (& PHOTOS):

But first, a request: please let me know of any typos or other sorts of blunders in my posts. As my eyes age I'm finding more mistakes are creeping into what I put up here no matter how many times I proof it all. Thanks for any help!

The dream-based poems posted on this blog -- dreamku, tanka, two-liners, monoku, free verse, dream narratives -- are offered in the spirit of collaboration. I have done my part. Now it’s your turn to jump in and see what comes up for you. I.e., there is no right or wrong way to relate to any of these dream offerings. Even my own understandings of them change over time. And it gives me joy when a reader sees something in any of them that I have not. (This all applies to any of the non-dream poems posted here, too.)

Also please note that a dream poem or narrative is not intended as an interpretation of a dream, or even a complete and accurate rendering of one. It is my attempt to get down dream imagery/action that grabs me and, as I write about it, elicits my conscious written association and response. Nor do I believe that one has to remember dreams in order for them to do their work. In my understanding, we are much more than our conscious selves.

You may also note in any further reading on dreamku (the specific forms of dreamku, tanka, two-liners and monoku) you may do here, that in the beginning I stressed "showing, not telling." However, this has been changing for some time. I now tend to "show" (the dream story) and cap if off with a "tell" (some reaction and/or insight I've had to the dream as I was writing about it). This also pretty much applies to my free verse dream poems as well. As to what I have begun calling dream narratives, they are a different animal, probably most akin to prose poems.

For more in-depth exploration of the dreamku forms specifically and one post in which I also address my photo choices:

-- very brief comparison of dreamku and haiku: DREAMKU ARE NOT HAIKU

-- a brief post about both dreamku and my photos THE AREN'TS OF DREAMKU & ACCOMPANYING DIGITAL PHOTOS.

CLOUD OF UNBECOMING (photomorph) & POST-GLOBAL DISASTER (dream tanka series w/2 2-liners) by Roswila


POST-GLOBAL DISASTER

she arrives in New York's
Grand Central Station, by train
of course, since after
the world-wide disaster planes
exist only in memory

the station's awesome
as always, huge and bustling
with scuttling folk,
just the folk are different,
clothes motley with a carnival air

she continues conversing with her foreign
seat-mate who disembarked with her:

the first thing we did in this country post-
disaster was check all nuclear reactors,

though all we could do
was eye-ball them for any
obvious cracking
I joined those checking along
California's freezing coast

the overall tack
we took in our nation
was to pull way back,
become small, inside and out,
in both hopes and actions

it always was such
a lush world, how sad we only
now appreciate its
delicate checks and balances
when it may very well be dying


[tanka series, with a pair of two-liners tossed in, on a dream of 3-12-15. I can't tell you how many times I've started typing in a comment on this dream and then deleted it. It's a multi-leveled dream, yes, but also in a way very simple, and not necessarily all that "negative" if one remembers to relate to it as metaphor. Ack, just typed more that I deleted as it got endlessly convoluted. Even just trying to explicate its simplest level. Maybe that's a clue to let the images speak for themselves. Omigosh! I just realized that this is being posted on Friday the 13th. That strikes me as both funny and appropriate. Photomorph "Cloud of Unbecoming" (12-11-12 12264v12) by Roswila]

LOOKING UP (photo) & THE AIR SWIMMER (dream tanka series w/2 two-liners) by Roswila


THE AIR SWIMMER

she's joined a fire squad
even wearing all the proper
paraphernalia
she rushes to get in the swim
with her fellow fire fighters

literally in the swim,
that is, water's flooding down
the wide boulevard
and each fighter is helping
to keep a citizen afloat

she adopts a smooth
dolphin/mermaid kick of her legs
leaving her arms free
but winds up of all places
flying joyously in the night air

the captain of the squad
commands her to come down
to earth, right away,
it's not proper behavior
even for a newbie fighter

but she will no more stop swimming
in the air than she'll stop breathing

this old mermaid won't ever again give up
something she loves at another's order


[tanka series capped by a pair of two-liners on a dream of 3-11-15. There's a very indirect reference in this dream to the fairy tale, "The Little Mermaid." One of a few I've identified with since I was a child, and even more so as I got into adulthood. Usually wishing she'd not given up her tail for useless legs. There are more levels that I see so far in this dream beyond the story, but I'll stop here. Photo "Looking Up" (1-1-12 11464e) by Roswila]

ALL RUFFLED UP (photo) & ANOTHER EXCESS (dream tanka series w/one dreamku) by Roswila


ANOTHER EXCESS

first, it's young kittens
where are the tiny things, ah,
they're on his bed now
one seems happy to be found
the other could not care less

then, it's the hunting
for a turkey for dinner
in the manicured woods
(yes, very strange, woods
& manicured together)

but more than one bird
gets caught for packing into
the very small car,
each of the three of them a solid
black with a few large red feathers

one bird roped across
the front, displayed like a huge
hood ornament,
one crammed inside the car along
with the weirdly quiet kittens

but the third turkey
most hooks concerned attention,
dragged along behind
in a basket on a leather rope
bouncing and flapping wildly,

another excess,
red feathers flying in the air
like spurts of blood


[tanka series capped by a dreamku on a dream of 3-10-15. Actually I'm tempted to take an alchemical view of this dream given the stark red and black that I saw so clearly in the dream. And, yes, I've just started a book, "Jung and the Alchemical Imagination" by J. Raff, that is not only prompting this thought but also most probably influenced (at the very least) the red and black in the dream. They are, very simply put, the first and last colors in the transformational alchemical process. However, a stronger feeling comes from my immediate association of "turkey" to that expression meaning someone who's viewed as stupid, or a failure, or a sham. Then there's that silly thought I often have that turkeys look like a poor person's peacock. And peacock takes me right back to alchemy as there's a stage in the transformation called peacock because it's many colored. In any case, this dream will be interesting to dialogue with later. Yes, I have an urge to "talk turkey" with that poor bird being dragged behind like an unwanted afterthought. Photo "All Ruffled Up" (8-26-10 10002ev4) by Roswila]

WALTZING WITH FUCHSIA (photomorph) & "a summer breeze..." (non-dream free verse poem) by Roswila


a summer breeze
bows the tiny fuchsia rose
and curls itself around
my stiff neck
ever so gently


[non-dream free verse poem written July 2014 and lightly tweaked March 2015. Interesting the old poems one is drawn to (one's own or anyone else's). They often have a message that's currently relevant. In this case, I probably need to check out how my neck might need bending. (Not only that tiny rose and this pic are blushing right now.) Photomorph "Waltzing With Fuchsia" (2-28-15 002v12) 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.

ALLUVION (photomorph) & SO, WHAT ELSE IS NEW? (dream tanka series) by Roswila


SO, WHAT ELSE IS NEW?
(a novel in three chapters)

Introduction:

swept up in a flood
I can do no better than
hopelessly flounder
but so does every living thing
all tossed together, lost ...

consciousness returns
I'm beached somewhere in Africa
the shoreline littered
with animals and humans
all ever so slowly coming to

before I can warn
a reviving seal, the lion
it's tangled up with
wakes and I walk away
dreading what will ensue


Chapter One:

she purports to aim
to create a totally new
world from the debris
but is actually searching to
reconstruct the old from the rubble


Chapter Two:

he seeks permission
to bomb the neighboring group
its philosophy
is not congruent with
the new post-flood thinking


Chapter Three:

another student and I
explore a new understanding
it's quite a challenge
to wrap our minds around
much less to put into words

but it holds the hope
for creating a whole new world
the teacher stops us
pointing out the philosophy's
simply hoary old dualism


Epilogue:

why are we building
again so soon, before we've
even remembered,
before we can truly learn
from how we wound up destroyed


[tanka series in five parts on an extremely long dream of 3-8-15. And this wasn't the only dream of the evening. After drafting this dream poem in the middle of the night I went back to sleep and had a bunch more dreams. One a rather sweet but doomed romance (he was married so I wouldn't go through with it, and there was other stuff I've forgotten). Another more than usually long one, specifically naming Santa Barbara, over and over, and having to do with various foods, and their preparation and storage. (This one had a lot of group and then individual interactions.) The last had another romance theme, very vague, and was set in Manhattan city streets. The "male" wasn't human, but a tall, dark, shiny, very angular and slim robot/alien that was somehow actually alive. And rather endearing, at least to those few of us who took the time to know it and didn't just react in fear to its strangeness. I won't even try to find the connecting thread that usually runs through the dreams of any single night. I'd be here until dinner time. It just occurred to me, though, that in a way, the first's major image foreshadowed the evening's continuing dream flood. Photomorph "Alluvion" (2-28-15 002v10e) by Roswila]

WINDS OF CHANGE (photomorph) & THE HABIT (dream tanka trio) by Roswila


THE HABIT

it's no miracle,
the novitiate was already
pregnant when she
joined the semi-cloistered
group of inner city nuns

she keeps denying
her growing pregnancy
since she'd joined as much
to hide the babe from the turncoat
father as out of spiritual fervor

but the obvious
pushes at the dark boundary
of her nun's habit
she's relieved at last to own up
to this tender burgeoning
