TRIPPING UP (photomorph) & "lead-footed and sad ..." (dream monoku) by Roswila

lead-footed and sad forgotten dreams hangover


[monoku on a dream, originally written as dream haiku January 23, 2008. Turned some time ago into a monoku from the usual 3-line haiku form. See comments to yesterday’s post for info on the monoku form. BTW, this may be the first posting of this ‘ku, in any form. What draws me to it today is that I dreamed/wrote it only 3 weeks before I moved from New York City to Goleta, CA. I rediscovered it last night in getting back to that project of going over my three ancient, handwritten, dream haiku notebooks. And I do mean “ancient…” some of the source dreams go back into the 1990’s. And a couple I recalled from childhood. Photomorph “Tripping Up” (Screenshots/many 2-6-19[14]) 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 or contrasting 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.
