January 2nd
the old year goes out like
the flame of the candle
lit with discernment
the new year comes in
breaking light over warm covers

i feel like
this winter
uncertain
and
uncommitted.

my twitter feed
is a tangle of
nuns and haiku writers
imagine for a day
they all met

About Five Lines: I discovered five-line poems on Twitter last year. This year I am determined to post a five-line poem on my Facebook and Twitter pages each Friday so that at the end of the year I will have a nice collection. Five Line poems are pretty quick to write, but don't think they don't go through editing. I will often sit and change a few words or split the lines in different ways to better set the tone or the rhythm of the poem. Some I am sure will get further edits even after I post them.
