THE BLUSHING TREE (photomorph) & ANOTHER TRUMP DREAM (narrative on a dream) by Roswila

ANOTHER TRUMP DREAM

prez trump seems basically
approving of my written review
of a large meeting he'd called,
all except a small action taken
in it by one of his underlings,
an action repeated five times;
he's very disturbed (to put it
mildly) that I'd not mentioned this;
I explain it was because I'd not
really taken note of the action, it must
not have impressed me, and say so to
our prez (very tactfully, but I do speak
up); he pontificates in his rough way
in front of a host of hangers-on about
how whether or not the action was eye
catching the first time, once repeated
four more times it became an attention
grabber and I should have noted it,
adding that I really must develop my
journalism skills if I want to stay in his
employ; I feel shamed that I'd not seen
the five time deed and resolve to be
even more observant and aware, while
a slow burn begins beneath the shame:
why is he so crass, nay, brutal, and
in front of everyone else: is this the
middle ages that I should be so
publicly flogged?

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,
