“We are our own dragons and our own heroes. We must rescue ourselves from ourselves.”
― Peter S. Beagle
Look in the mirror
Hero or clown reflects back
Choice turns back to you
When I saved myself
I would appreciate
in value someday
My dragon devours
All parts of myself I’d lost
Neighbour’s cat missing
Thinking in Haiku
expressing thought in new ways
frees the fenced in mind
But then I left my meter running
and my scansion got declined
In Peter S Beagle’s quote who trapped us in the first place? Why? Hero, Captive, Dragon what other roles do we play.. Ah yes Director and Set Designer as well
Blessings, G

Wonderful questions to contemplate. Great Images. Stone Grove is fascinating.
What an interesting way to think about meter and scansion.
“But then I left my meter running
and my scansion got declined”
I took an advance poetry workshop at a University not far from my home recently. I really enjoyed learning about how to use form to contain content, and most everything else I learned, EXCEPT, meter and scansion. 🙂 Just couldn’t wrap my mind around either one.
