American Sentence #5

So many dreams among us yet we barely notice even our own.

bydamanti

I Cry

I cry for no reason other than the emotion of life itself.

Post Note

The American Sentence is a poetic form created by Allen Ginsberg. They are  poems that like the Japanese haiku, contain seventeen syllables.

One Life

So many lives living and places they're lived in - I have just this one.

My American Sentence

I am yin and at the same time, yang - I live, I seek, and sometimes, learn.

The Wind

Oh boy, did the wind howl last night!  It was the wind that comes with fronts you see coming across the map on weather reports. It came right through the pass and then over us on Blackberry Ridge. The more I tried to ignore it, the more I heard it.   

Relentless and strong
The wind howls as it passes -
Going somewhere else.

Come daylight, its ferocity remained.  Now I could see it - in the trees:  Void of their cover trees shiver unresistant to the angry wind.

 

Grass

The grass no longer grows and is content to pause for winter's beauty.


Post Note
The above is my first attempt at writing an American Sentence, a poetic form created by Allen Ginsberg and brought to my awareness by Becca.  They are haiku-like poems that like the Japanese haiku, contains seventeen syllables.
