guest post: poems by Christina Nguyen

[zirconium]

My guest today is Christina Nguyen (A wish for the sky), who writes:

I take time to write poetry every day, and I love writing in response to prompts. Most of what I write is Japanese short form poetry like haiku and tanka. Here is my poetic response to several of Peg’s photos.




yes
just nod yes
yellow tulip





when you're ready
to put on those glass slippers
you'll find
your coach
right here





his absence
is no reflection on her
today
there are only memories
echoing down the hallway





lucky heart. . .
running through the grass
barefoot





spring breeze
through white curtains
puppy love
