DIAMOND DIG (photomorph) & PRECIOUS (mixed format dream poem) by Roswila

PRECIOUS

from all the way down
there on the baseball diamond
he recognizes me,
his old (in both senses of the word)
friend who’s deeply proud of him

then he hails me, gesturing insistently that I
come down from the stands to be with him,

to be at his side as he’s being honored …
and giving me a gold medal of memory


[a tanka capped by two 2-liners on a dream of 5-11-19. A rather too precious dream, ey? Diamond? Gold? Medal? 😊 I have chased down the sources of the metaphors here. Mostly “day residue.” And no great insights arising from them so far. It seems to be basically a simple wish fulfilment dream. Photomorph “Diamond Dig” (Old Pix 6-22-09 2656v9h[3]) 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,
