BLUE MOON RISING (photomorph) & A FULL MOON HAS NOTHING ON HER (non-dream free verse poem) by Roswila

A FULL MOON HAS NOTHING ON HER

she bellies the dark aside insisting
on returning as ever to that painfully
exaggerated place in her own mind,
too full again of herself, memory
managing to briefly assert that there
will be, as usual, a gradual deflation,
a settling back into slimmer and yet
slimmer gradations of that dreadful
bellying against the engulfing dark


[non-dream free verse poem written 2-28-18. Tomorrow's full moon (an American Indian name for which is Worm Moon) will be the first of two this month. BTW, it's the second full moon at the end of this month that's called a blue moon. Photomorph "Blue Moon Rising" (8-13-18 011v2b) by Roswila]

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,
