THE MINE FIELDS OF MEMORY (photomorph)

I'd thought to choose a pic of mine and write a haiku or tanka inspired by it, somehow acknowledging today is Memorial Day. Well, that just did not happen. Finding a pic I did not want to but felt compelled to (unsuccessfully) edit was hard enough. But the couple I liked enough "as is" did not generate any sort of little poem. Then I hit on this one, an untitled, unposted one from about one year ago. And a title for it popped right away -- "The Mine Fields of Memory" (5-13-18 034v3) -- that can be read in light of it being Memorial Day. So I'll leave it at this. And add my express gratitude for the all those who have served and are serving in the military.

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,
