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

All evening French words
one brick at a time mon ami
un brique rouge, deux, trois,
millions of synapses.
Across land and sea,
sur terre et sur mer,
to Paris the path is built
one brick at a time mon ami.

Every day should be such a day
from the first breath in the dark
when you know you are awake
to the last before sleep
not wanting it to end
every day should be such a day.

Every day should be such a day
when you know you are special
that the day is yours
and that you are kind
and beautiful as morning light
every day should be such a day.

Every day should be such a day
where every sound is music
where stillness is a melody
and life is for rejoicing
You know that you belong
Every day should be such a day!

Wolf wind outside the window
waking me up in the middle of the night
to confront again this cold-like hunger
loneliness is bringing

into a flock of words
we fly, fearless of falling
knowing we will fall
a lot!
