REFLECTION (photomorph) & "overcast river..." (dream haiku) by Roswila

overcast river
she returns to stand by
the rock splitting tree


[dream haiku, dreamed/written January 2008. Did some tweaking of this one. I’ve always had a particular fondness for its mood, but found the writing not quite right. I think I may have finally gotten it into good shape. But who knows? As the cliché goes, only time will tell. That is, only in time will I (maybe) rest easy with its expression. BTW, it’s working up to raining here soon, so it’s an appropriate choice for today’s post in whatever shape it may be in. Also, in case it isn’t obvious, this ‘ku is from one of those old books of my handwritten dream haiku that I’ve been (re-)posting from for a while now.

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.

until next time, keep dreaming,
