PARTY WAVE (photomorph) & IN THE SWIM (free verse dream poem) by Roswila

IN THE SWIM

I'm swimming at the ocean's edge, back toward my home;
it's a lovely sunny day and lots of people are swimming
but all are headed in the opposite direction; I would
like to swim all out, doing the Australian crawl as I
haven't done in too many years, but find I must
mostly dog paddle to keep from colliding
with these other swimmers whose
trajectories tend to the erratic;
however, it's no problem
as I'm more than content
just to be in the swim,
and making steady
progress

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,
