SNOWED-IN (photomorph) & ALWAYS AT THE START (free verse dream poem) by Roswila

ALWAYS AT THE START

she's always at the start of the trip, that
one in which where she's trying to go

looks farther away on each step, but
maybe I'm already where I need to
be for now, she thinks,
as yet another

soggy, snowy step totally swamps her
sneakers; would this clutching
cold ultimately just
disappear, if

she chose to stop plowing on and
simply watched the cityscape
melting around her in a
melange of shadows

and reflected moonlight: like
the passing of ancient
memories going who-
knows-where, if
anywhere
at all,

just like
she


[free verse poem on a dream of 4-1-18. May sound strange to say, but this is actually a rather positive dream. Acceptance being a major key. Photomorph "Snowed-In" (6-27-09 2904v2f) 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,
