Tonight on dVerse, Jilly is asking us to go avant garde with our haibun. And, I’m going Bowie-ish, because, well, if he is not a definite source of avant garde, I don’t know who is. It’s all unconventional, and that’s where I’m currently at.
This image has been deep dream generated by Sascha Darlington.
Spatial Oddity, A haibun?
This journey is red. All manifestations of fire red. My brain’s afire with anger. Frustration licks at the center’s core. I am the bleeding heart, refusing to add a political construct because there’s no intelligent life out there, on either drastic, irrational side.
Calling outward for intelligent life. Do you hear me? Do you want me? I’m good to go.

to ground control, Bowie
man, are you out there?

Avante-garde at its finest! Bowie is the season of your brain; can’t be topped for creativity! Keep preaching this: “on either drastic, irrational side.” This is edgy and vivid.
Thanks, Jilly! I believe that the creative are the rational side. 🙂
Frame that!
(nobody’d believe it. 😉 )
There’s a starman waiting in the sky
He’d like to come and meet us
But he thinks he’d blow our minds
There’s a starman waiting in the sky
He’s told us not to blow it
Cause he knows it’s all worthwhile
Oh, you are so on track with this haibun! I wish it was only “either” side, but the lunatic fringe is everyone (“We have met the enemy and he is us.” ― Walt Kelly). And it extends past the big blue wet thing in either direction!
You’re on the same wavelength with me. I didn’t have the imagination to go with Bowie. I bow!
Thank you, Charley. Bowie was a lucid dreamer. We’re in a time when we need them.
Bowie saw the world from space. I’m sure he’s out there somewhere watching out for those who follow.
Love that thought! Thanks.
Good Haibun. People leave me wondering if there is any intelligent life out there. We are living in the very heart of Narcissus.
We do seem to be. Thanks, Walter! 🙂
You are welcome !
Wow, I couldn’t even begin to come up with something like this. I suspect Major Tom is still floating around out there. 🙂
Ha, Maggie, it just goes to show that I too am a little out there. 🙂
YES! Bowie the man who fell from space, Ziggy Stardust, gone but perhaps ‘out there’.
And never forgotten. Thanks, Anne! 🙂
Wonderful hommage to the greatest 🙂
Thank you, Jane! 🙂

Thank you so much, Hank! 🙂
Intriguing and delightful. You have exceeded the challenge.
Thank you. I appreciate that! 🙂
You have said it well! Sometimes it feels like we live in a dark hole! Time to light a candle!
Dwight
Many, many candles of hope. And let’s just hope hot air doesn’t blow them out. Thanks, Dwight! 🙂
Nice way to put this: “refusing to add a political construct because there’s no intelligent life out there”
Thank you, Frank! 🙂
I wonder where intelligence is… please come back Bowie… seems like darkness of stupidity is just growing.
Yes. Like mold. Thanks, Bjorn! 🙂
Great! “Bowie man, are you out there?” Perfect.
Thank you! 🙂
How very creative and imaginative ~ I love your haibun, including the line of Bowie ~
Thank you, Grace. I appreciate ;your saying that! 🙂
Thank you so much, Grace! 🙂
Ha, love this. You and Bowie both get it, transcending the push and pull to higher, intelligent life forms.
I don’t think I could get higher praise. Thank you. 🙂
It certainly does seem as if no one is listening these days. (K)
Thank you! 🙂
