CONGEALING SKY (photo) & AT THE RESTAURANT (mixed format dream poem) by Roswila

AT THE RESTAURANT

why did I guilt her
into giving me some of her ham?
not only is it
totally cold and greasy now
but she doesn't owe me anything

yeah, the serving I paid for and gobbled down
was much smaller than hers, but that's life,

and envy of another's portion
leaves a bitter taste indeed

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,
