BUTTERFLY NEBULOUS (photomorph) & "we transmute..." (dreamku) by Roswila

we transmute
into fairy-like slaves
I discover flight


[dreamku from January 1, 2007. Been a long time since I've posted a dreamku. (Dreamku is a haiku-like form I developed for night dreams -- there's a slew of them here in the earlier years ... used to write one or more daily -- try searching for dreamku if you're interested.) I have nothing ready to post and so decided to just click at random on my archive list of posts (see right hand column, this page). When I hit on this one I was instantly ready to go with it: I've been wondering about dealing with transmutations/
transmogrifications in ourselves and whether we have to simply accept them, as is. I.e, in terms of the dreamku's image, be a slave to them. Well, I've never given in utterly and am not about to now. Anymore than I did in this old dream/ku. Of course, what wings I may discover this time remain to be seen. (BTW, get the idea of angel's wings outta the picture. Even if this old woman were ready for those, they ain't gonna be comin' her way. And that's only partly a joke.) Photomorph "Butterfly Nebulous" (9-5-13 009v3t) by Roswila]

ABOUT DREAMKU (& PHOTOS):

But first, a request: please let me know of any typos or other sorts of blunders in my posts. As my eyes age I'm finding more mistakes are creeping into what I put up here no matter how many times I proof it all. Thanks for any help!

For more in-depth exploration of the dreamku form, and one post in which I also address my photo choices:

-- very brief comparison of dreamku and haiku: DREAMKU ARE NOT HAIKU

-- a brief post about both dreamku and my photos THE AREN'TS OF DREAMKU & ACCOMPANYING DIGITAL PHOTOS.

-- detailed three-part post about dreamku: "A DREAMKU PRIMER: Writing Haiku-Like Poems About Your Night Dreams": PART ONE: Introduction & Writing Dreamku as Dream Work; PART TWO: Elements of the Haiku Form Used in Dreamku; and PART THREE: How to Write Dreamku (the second and third parts have some overlap).

-- a short up-dating post about the three-part "A DREAMKU PRIMER" -- Important Up-date to A DREAMKU PRIMER....".
