IN THE MISTS OF MORN (photo) & A BLUE DAY (free verse dream poem) by Roswila

A BLUE DAY

she keeps trying on clothes,
this blouse or sweatshirt with that skirt,
those socks with that pair of sneakers ...
nothing seems quite right this morning
the only thing about them all
that she likes: the shades of blue
(strange, since purple usually
grabs the spotlight) but she simply
cannot decide today what style
she wants to present herself in
(what a red herring!
as if changing the outside
changes anything at all)

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,
