Dream Catcher: A Rengay With Cara Holman

Dream Catcher

Kirsten Cliff & Cara Holman

crosswinds

struggling not to recall

last night's dream

the morning sky

filled with rain

drifting fog

where does the dream end

and I begin

dream catcher

I tell myself what

I want to believe

across dandelioned fields

a hawk's shadow

river reeds

weaving daydreams

into stories

A big THANK YOU to Aubrie Cox for sparking my imagination with her call for dragon/water/fire haiku, tanka, haiga and such like!

the water dragon

swimming through

my lines of haiku

flicks a tail at the sight

of his lover's name

                    dragon fire...

                    the way he moves me

                    this night

                              black robes dance

                              around the ritual circle

                              earth - air - water - fire

                              I draw in a dragon's breath

                              to lead the chant

                                        dragon daydream

                                        the streaks of fire

                                        in her hair

The New Year's Day blog post celebrating the beginning of 2012 (which is the Year of the Dragon) can be downloaded from Yay Words! I'm sure you'll enjoy this magical mix of artwork and short form poetry that has become The Language of Dragons.
