Collage on old dream poem note book cover & DISPARATE (dream tanka) by Roswila

DISPARATE

that dream of making
a collage, a bit like a dream
about dreaming:
many disparate pieces in full league
with each other within one frame


[tanka on a dream of 1-14-16. Image: (old, poor scan of) a collage I did, bit by bit, on the cover of a dream poetry notebook many years ago as I filled the book. I may someday do a scan of this cover with my new scanner/printer. It would probably eliminate those stripes on the two Buddha faces (they're not on the collage itself). However, I've become accustomed to them as they echo the zebras on either side (smile). I'd be aiming for increased clarity of details with a new scan, as I've already done what I could with this one in Photoshop to brighten and sharpen it. Collage & Tanka 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.

until next time, keep dreaming,
