SUDDEN FIRE (photomorph) & ON CRAVINGS (dream tanka trio) by Roswila

ON CRAVINGS

we've known each other
many decades now, and been
only good friends
throughout our separate changes
down the winding tunnel of time

and yet suddenly
there's a closeness we'd not gone
for, ever before:
he cups my left breast, looking
at me softly and expectantly

"I'm not ready yet,"
I demure, honestly uncertain
if we should go for it ...
oh, yes! he's sexy! but I also desire
chocolate, and it's not good for me


[three tanka on a dream of 7-6-18. This was dreamed before the one I wrote about here yesterday. They make an interesting pair and I would've posted them together. But given I'm so uncertain these days of my dream recall, I decided to hold one back should I come up "dreamless" today. But, yay! The resurgence of dream recall is continuing. Had recall of one of those massive, novella length dreams last night. Will probably post the long narrative on it tomorrow. (At least I'm assuming the resultant narrative will be long as my notes on the dream go on forever. :-D) Photomorph "Sudden Fire" (9-6-16 002v6) 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,
