Five Small Poems

Hello friends,

Five small poems this week. Enjoy! (And if you do, please consider supporting my work by purchasing either my omnibus edition Knit Ink (and Other Poems) or something from my store.)

Alternatively, buy me a coffee on Ko-Fi!

This poem uses only those letters in its title (s, o, m, e, t, i, and m):

SOMETIMES (Lipogram)

Sometimes 
it seems 
time is mist.
It sits, 
so moot.
It misses me.

These next four poems are 5-7-5 kigo-free haiku.

ONCE UPON A TIME (Anagram-Haiku)

Once upon a time,
on a poetic menu:
one epic amount.

---

THREE WITCHES (Anagram-Haiku)

Three witches conspire,
to cherish newt recipes;
chirp woe, stir the scene.

---

FOR ERIK SATIE (Palindrome-Haiku)

Art: Name it, as a
won Gnossienne is song now —
a Satie mantra....

---

This final palindromic haiku is a univocalic lipogram whose only vowel is E.

FOR GEORGES PEREC (Palindrome-Haiku)

Deft bed, test sentence.
Repel, lest sell, E, Perec!
Net: Nest set. Debt fed.
