FLOW (photo) & "palm frond shadows..." (non-dream haiku) by Roswila

palm frond shadows
shifting on the pool surface
ungraspable


[non-dream haiku written 9-18-18. This one's sort of odd for me. Obviously, shadows on a pool can't be grasped. But I'm hoping what they made me think of, is also there for a reader. I.e., just like one's thoughts (and so much else about life that we tend to clutch after). But making it more explicit messed it up as a haiku. So I'm going to live with this question about it in order to keep the more haiku-like feel. Photo "Flow" (4-13-18 008v5) 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.
