Door Harp
tear-shaped or is
it the inviolable
form of the
candle’s flame ever
changing but constant
in its own
presence that being
momentary or fixed
as a loved
one’s death I
listen and hear
only three notes
each one solitary
and aloof yet
of one purpose
Yet another from the eighties.


Love the simplicity and metaphors of this style of poem!

Thanks, Phil. I flirted with this style for about a year way back when, and found it both challenging and fun.

Yeah, bring back the 80s! Although your work in the 10s (21st century) is great too.
