REVENANTS (photomorph) & THE FUTURE OF DREAMS (five scifaiku) by Roswila

THE FUTURE OF DREAMS
(Five Scifaiku*)

refugees
they ride starships
we, dreams

invaded by bodies
the dream ship fades
lost in space

centuries
of frozen dreams
haunted cryo-ship

strange dreams, these
the elders say they're of earth
genetic flotsam

seventh generation
dreams of earth burn away
under the constant suns


[*Scifaiku = haiku-like form with sci-fi, fantasy, horror, or cosmological theme. I posted these here 11 yrs ago. They were written 18 years ago, when I first discovered the scifaiku form (though I tweaked two of them ever so slightly today). Didn't have anything new to put up now, so I went to the listing on my blog of posts that go back to 2006, and clicked on a date at random. BTW, each of these was from a different night's dreaming, and I put them together for that post 11 years ago, based on their dream theme. I used to identify more with the first four scifaiku, but now find I relate most to the last one ... in a positive sense ... to oversimplify: learning to let the past be the past.

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.
