PET ROCK (photomorph) & "the gift..." (dream based monoku) by Roswila

the gift whose fault is it when the pet rock bites


[monoku [one line haiku] on a dream of 12-9-18. I haven't had this happen before ... I decided to open a folder of my photos at random today and pick one to write something on. I couldn't settle on a pic in that folder so began fussing at one particular photo, winding up with the new version above. As soon as it appeared in this form on my computer screen, I recalled a dream fragment from last night on which I then wrote the monoku. Photo "Pet Rock" (11-24-15 053v3a) 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,
