WINDS OF TIME (photo) & THIS WANNABE (non-dream free verse poem) by Roswila

THIS WANNABE

even if the dazzle comes only
from a small piece of shattered
glass, it still pleases my eye
as much as any diamond
or messenger star

and even if I can't reach beyond
the fence to retrieve this sharp
edged wannabe gem for burial
in the trash, one day it, too,
will be reduced and re-shaped
by time and exposure to be
taken up by the soft sands
of the constantly
shifting universe

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,
