Ephemeral

Sam Peralta is hosting dVerse FormForAll tonight. He has set us on the task of writing sedoka, a Japanese poetry form with two stanzas, each stanza having a 5-7-7 syllable count. Sam gives a good explanation of the other features of the form--y'all are invited to craft your own and link up! 


Ephemeral

The slow water of
Tumble Creek reflects white clouds
and the hungry green heron.

Nothing stays the same.
It may be no human eye
Has ever seen what I see.
