Short Subjects

One of my favorite forms is the American Sentence. It gives new meaning to the term 'one liner.' It was invented by Allen Ginsburg. It is sometimes known as an American Haiku, because it follows the same syllable count, but not the line division of the Japanese Haiku.

Here are 2 new ones:

          Sweep of broom, scent of earth, weight of twilight - every surface resonates.

          Glass required us to be careful - plastic allows us to be careless.

This one is originally from 2016, but has been improved. :-) :

          Frozen, flaky sky mirrors the color of a drunk's dawn cigarette.

These 2 are from 2016:

          Dandelions springing from cracks in the sidewalk call me a coward.

          She chose her clothing to suit her vanity, but her shoes to suit his.
