Musings on Life, Love, and Linguine-Poetry & Writing
“Morning moon shine fading in crystal blue sky — no rain storm clouds in sight.”
– Linda Lee Lyberg

Author’s Note: This is an American Sentence. The form, invented by Allen Ginsberg, is simply a variation of the haiku. The rules of an American Sentence are very simple. The poem is one sentence, 17 syllables long.
