Most everything that isn’t a haiku or tanka falls into this category lately. Subject to change, of course.

The big lives of small children 

Carl Setzer

​

Awakened by

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Voices of early risers 

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Small children

<

p style=”font-family:"”>With big voices 

<

p style=”font-family:"”>So much 

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Personality 

<

p style=”font-family:"”>They occupy 

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Far more space 

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Than their bodies 

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Would belie 

<

p style=”font-family:"”>
