NO ENTRANCE (photo) & THAT TEARS IT (mixed format dream poem) by Roswila

THAT TEARS IT

her abusive tone
triggers my rage like a bomb
that tears it, I say,
you're no friend of mine, and I'm
giving you notice to move out

but, she says, I've just
invited Anne to stay with us awhile,
you like her, don't you?
I respond, fuming, what does liking
have to do with trusting someone ...

I've really liked you
and look at what it got me:
more casual abuse


[two tanka and a dreamku on a dream of 10-16-16. This was dreamed right after the somewhat more "up beat" one I put up a poem about yesterday. Photo "No Entrance" (9-15-16 019v2) 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), 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,
