A CHANGE OF SEASON (photomorph) & ON CHANGING (non-dream free verse poem) by Roswila

ON CHANGING

as I wheel my walker
around the market, song lyrics
I've never heard before
sung in a youthful male voice
declare sadly: "I'm most frightened
of what I've become ..."

I respond under my breath, hoping no one
will hear and think this old lady's losing it:
"I'm more frightened to have learned
I'm still who I always was"

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,
