Cinders of a shooting star

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

Good Stuff
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!
Liked your comment, Mike.
Enjoyed these two poems.
