The Best of Five Line Poems 2012 Now Available

     Ed Bremson did it again! His new ebook, The Best of Five Line Poems 2012, has made it to #3 among poetry books in the Kindle store. This wonderful collection, containing some samples of poems posted in the Facebook group "Five Line Poems" and "Tanka Poet Society" in 2012, may be purchased here. 

     Here are the three poems I've contributed to this ebook. 

frost moon

I stare at another

candy wrapper

waiting for a sugar high

to fill my emptiness

stardust

on New Year's eve . . .

our hope

shining even brighter

with every kiss

sunlight streaming

through the kitchen window . . .

as I wash the dishes

how you smile at me

is all I can imagine

Dark Clouds

 

dark clouds

gliding over

the golden moon

I want to believe

the worst is over

Not a Single Star

     I was invited by Ed Bremson to join another group in Facebook called Five Line Poems. For my first post, I wrote this before I went to bed.

 

not a single star

speaks to me tonight

but all these poems

I tuck under my pillow

with a smile

     It was quite liberating writing this poem because all I had to do was write a poem with five lines. I didn't have to  stick to the rules of a good tanka, a kind of poetry I need to learn more about.
