Four Lines: June 2024

Welcome to Four Lines! I have a goal I would like to write at least four lines of poetry or a haiku every day for the rest of my life. I'm excited about this challenge! Also, along with my daily poem, I will be reading at least four lines of another author's poetry. I'll try to include that here also. So I'm thinking - how difficult can it be to read and then write one poem a day? We will see! - Claudia

It’s been so long -

I am inside the morning,

weeding under the apple tree,

slowly leveling stepping stones,

humming a backup for a yard bird band

with an impressive repertoire.

I sip warm coffee in cool, floral air,

this morning not running anywhere!
