DIVING INTO THE BLUE (photo) & MONSTROUS MELANGE (free verse dream poem) by Roswila

MONSTROUS MELANGE

patches of floor disappear
just disappear, simply aren't there anymore
most don't even have time to square up
as they fall through into nothingness,
a mass exodus of wobbly parquet pieces
yikes! there'll be nothing left to stand on
much less to support tables, chairs,
what-have-you
and the colors! the hair raising colors
bleeding up from the ongoing flapping
of opening holes, nay, more like
tsunamis in rainbows
of raging color that crest
on the remaining bits of floor
then recede into the shapeless
disappearance of floor bits,
dragging debris along with them,
lending painfully bright neon lights
to all that's lost,
and the only color missing
from this monstrous melange?
true blue

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,
