Epiphanics

About the Book

"Epiphanics" (ep a fan' iks) are small epiphanies from simple experiences or commonplace occurrences. The intuitive perceptions can be light, medium, or dark.

These are the rules for my one-breath poetry: use only one sentence, ten or more lines, a strict rhyme scheme; and be able to read the poem in one breath.

Free

You can live

without regard

to the length

or shortness

of the day

and be free

from swift

or sluggish time

if you keep

your heart

unmoved

by sadness,

untouched

by joy.
