this room reeks
of smoke, sweat, and whisky
as I squeeze my mind ...
five lines out into the dark
edge of a lonely heart
We [write] to know we're "not alone."
-- paraphrasing The character of C.S. Lewis in William Nicholson's play, "Shadowlands"
Look forward to reading your haiku and tanka (see submission guidelines (http://neverendingstoryhaikutanka.blogspot.com/2020/01/neverending-story-anthology-submission.html))
