EMERGENT SHADOWS (photo) & THE CAUL (non-dream free verse poem) by Roswila

THE CAUL

caw-caw-caw they fly by
one after the other
shadows on the wing
and for that brief time
I'm free of your hot shadow

that clinging caul I barely
breathe through each time
it embraces me again
portending a delivery
that never comes

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.
