Cinders of a shooting star
Kindle balefires in my bones.

Sarah Munson

The long marriage rocks on the porch, taking stock.
Albums on laps waft memories fragrant as wedding cake.

    Beth and Sarah, past and present
    strike a chord.

    I like the poems you choose to put together, Mike. That in itself is a skill.

      Honestly, Joan, it’s random. It’s all based on when everyone expressed an interest in participating, But I do want to say to everyone who has participated: the two-line poems are stunning. So evocative. Amazing what you can do with such limitations!
