Bella

He
opened
the window-
in streamed his first
love
with
flowers,
dressed
in white-
she haunted his
art

L. J. Carber November 24, 2020 at 2:08 PM I like this--it has that haiku-like feel, and for some reason reminds me of that moment I saw my wife walk down the aisle the day we married. Brian Strand November 24, 2020 at 3:07 PM Thanks LJ it is a linked lanterne(half American cinquain) which is indeed of that flavour.
