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.

Come, sip with me my darling this fine sherry of Spain,
I’ll regale you with my devilish stories and once again,
in the prevailing shadows of dancing candlelight
your eyes will meet mine and we will dine
on the love in each other’s eyes.

Tiny seeds lie in wait for spring
As gentle rains soak mother earth
In budding trees, mockingbirds sing
While the seeds lie in wait for spring
Butterflies emerge, taking wing
When the land prepares for rebirth
Tiny seeds lie in wait for spring
As gentle rains soak mother earth

through the dry desert washes

The artistic sun is always changing,
rearranging colorful paints on its pallet
splashing brilliant shades across the canvas sky
with each rise and set, no two ever the same
Some mornings dawn overcast and dreary
with grey clouds cloaking promising hues
while others awaken with a smile, cheery
in vivid shades of yellow and cerulean blue
In the twilight hours when day is almost done
the copper orb sinks low on the welcoming horizon,
making one last effort to leave the world inspired
in shades of violet, wood thrush gold, and orange
before the next vibrant dayspring arises

slowing a heart beat
enlightenment between breaths
tranquil resting place
where horizon and land meet
under an apricot sky
