NOM DE PLUME (photomorph) & HE SAYS (free verse dream poem) by Roswila

HE SAYS

he says something about
leaving these two pages in
the approximate middle
of the book she's making
blank,
that everything's not written,
nor will it ever all be
written

she tries to defend herself
as if his hesitant comments
are some sort of
accusation,
(or at the very
least implying she could
be doing something
better)
by showing him how carefully
she's thought it all out and
executed each new turning
of a full page with
care

but as she flips through the
pages of her handmade book,
each filled to bursting
with words but for
these central empty
two,
she finally gets it:

he just wants her to leave
room for the possibilities of
him

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,
