Pearls slipping off,
a mouthful
of affection, like candies—
three in one hand
two in the other
*
I am having some
trouble with Shakespeare.
Every night
I've prayed to be able
to put all that poetry
in just six words.
*
That woman in Paradise,
she did not believe
how God sees
she started along
the path to trouble.
*
A little bit of porridge
every morning
is better than a night
without poetry.

I love these very concise forms. The essence of poetry, to me, is its brevity and economy -- putting as much meaning and craft into the tiniest vessel possible.
