Four Lines: February 2026

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

I have been crying

so now I am drawing

zentangle roses, listening to

“Shelter from a Storm”

the first few, break and crumpled fall

the next, a company on the page

the last, stretch in sun salutations

outside snow is singing

I go outside and lift up my again

sobbing voice
