epigram for one book

The time I took
to make this book,
being both debut
and long review.

nothing worse

Couplet: Is there anything worse / than a novel in verse?

alt usage

If it’s poetry you want to write
You must pitch your Strunk & White.

epigram

His favorite artist is KAWS,
doesn’t that say it all?

no know

And yet after my knowing "ah-ha,"
the poem retains
an everlasting je ne sais quoi.

aphoristic ambitions

Every couplet aspires to aphorism (or epigram). [Thinking of Alexander Pope.]

tiny poem of hope

HOPE

Tomorrow will be beautiful,
For tomorrow comes out of the lake.

—Emanuel Carnevali, Furnished Rooms,
edited by Dennis Barone, Bordighera Press 2006

(I love the way this small poem works, starting with that bald-faced expression of hope then turning to 'the lake' as the improbable agent of satisfaction.)
