ICED OVER (photomorph) & "the heat takes the chill..." (non-dream tanka) by Roswila

the heat takes the chill
out of my rooms, would that it could touch
my frozen spirit
but there’s no vent that can blow enough warmth
to thaw this land of abandoned ice houses


[non-dream tanka written 3-7-19. This one has a self-pitying tone that irks me when I spot it in my writing. However, whenever I note it, I think that maybe expressing it will help. Hah! And the moon’s made of green cheese! BWL (big wry laugh), there I go again. Photomorph “Iced Over” (3-7-19 [22]) 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,
