GARDEN FROSTING (photo) & SWEET CAKES (dream) by Roswila

SWEET CAKES

they’ve made these delightful little sweet cakes
for certain people; I’m quite surprised and happy
when one of the women involved in the baking venture
hands me the neatly stacked supply, each with its own
tiny printed pink invitation on top of it; she doesn’t
say it but I realize I’m to lift one carefully out of
the stack for myself, leaving the remaining ones
neatly organized so I can readily distribute the rest
appropriately and the recipients can see how nicely
they were presented by the bakers; I’m still very
touched and even more surprised that not only did
they make one specifically for me, but left the
ultimate care and distribution of all the rest
in my hands


[dream of 1-28-20. ACK! I just keyboarded and deleted some lengthy comments/associations to this little dream. Blech! I’m sure the sweet cakes in this dream would taste a lot better than all that ruminating did when I read it over. Suffice it to say it’s a jam-packed dream, both positive and negative, both forward looking and stuck in the past, etc., etc. Photo “Garden Frosting” (7-9-09 3580e[2]) by Roswila]

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.
