BREAKING THE SURFACE (photomorph) & NEW YEAR 2019 (non-dream mixed format poem) by Roswila

NEW YEAR 2019

“grateful yet annoyed…”
I could say that about all years,
this on-going mix
and, yes, the operative word above is
“on-going” – for wasn’t it just yesterday
I figured out I’d be 56 (oh-so-old)
years at the turn of the century?


[non-dream tanka capped by a two-liner written 1-2-19. Usually, there'd be a line space between the fifth and sixth lines. But for the sake of sense, I've left it out. Photomorph "Breaking the Surface" (10-7-15 v5c) by Roswila (re-posted from a few years earlier, as I've been and will be doing until my new computer system's fully loaded with my pix and the appropriate programs)]

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, as the above is), 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,
