NO ADMITTANCE (photo) & BAREFOOT (non-dream free verse poem) by Roswila


BAREFOOT

and so the ocean of speech
persuades me I just might
be desirable after all,
I can feel the joy this possibility
brings radiating from me
like a tiny sun,
but sadness instantly douses
this rare happiness: I'm painfully
tired of being teased like this
from a distance,
the chilly surf of words
trailing nothing along with it,
not even a caress
to briefly curl my toes,
stranding me here,
unshod
and still waiting

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,
