IS THIS ANY CLEARER? (photomorph) & A POST VALENTINE'S DAY WISH FULFILLMENT DREAM (prose poem on a dream) by Roswila

A POST VALENTINE'S DAY WISH FULFILLMENT DREAM

her dearest two female friends gather close to her,
anxious to help her not only understand her nigh on
to indefinable physical and emotional relationship
with that man, but how to be in it; they pay special
attention to interpreting what certain actions and
joking statements of his actually mean; as these
two women friends converse with her, it becomes
clear the man must truly care in the way he claims
to; she doesn't know if she's more surprised or
pleased and decides the blend of the two reactions
is just fine, a delicious high calorie boost after this
lengthy abstemious time in her life; then a male
friend approaches her, telling her of his recent win
in the same arena of life, his first in as many years as
she'd just gone without; he, too, translates for her
-- in a positive way -- the odd words and awkward
phrases of the man she's involved with, along with
his even odder behaviors; it seems Valentine's Day
has hit the ground running and is not stopping, she
thinks, laughing at the mental image of her arthritic
knees allowing her to go the distance with anyone,
even as she gives thanks for her strong, persistent
heart that's never given up


[prose poem (narrative?) on a dream of 2-15-18. Yup ... unclarity is so anxiety provoking for me that I made up a bunch of reassuring friends! Photomorph "Is This Any Clearer?" (11-2-17 011v9c) 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,
