#American Sentence Sunday: Be the Fish

Posted on March 1, 2020 by Linda Lee Lyberg

Be the swimming fish, feeling water’s silk caress as you glide through life.

Author’s Note: The rules of an American Sentence are very simple. The poem is one sentence, 17 syllables long. It was invented by Allen Ginsberg because he felt that haiku didn’t work as well in English.
