This starry, still moving pond shines
in my eyes everywhere I look -
everywhere.
Dimpled drops of dew light leaves
and flowers. Autumn edges
everywhere -
this palate changing daily a little more.
Nothing is small or large - equality is
everywhere.
The wrinkled tree creeks, melancholy
and lovely like the hermit thrush echoing
everywhere
around me. I find this melodic master
perched on the tree's high branch.
Everywhere
is home. I love this feeling. Like
a haiku moment capable of being
everywhere.
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
