Poetry Stretch Surprise!

I am thrilled to report that for this week's poetry stretch I have the great honor of debuting a NEW poetic form. Invented by Pat Lewis, it is a form that warms my mathematical heart. Here's an example to whet your appetite.
What a Day

Out of dark’s rougher neighborhoods,
Morning stumbles,
none too
bright,
remembering
that thief,
Night,
who stole her work
of art—
Light.

I hope you'll join me here tomorrow for the unveiling of the Zeno.

  1. This is stunning. From Underwear Salesman to The House...I'm astonished, as always, at Pat's versatility. I have a superbusy week, but I'm hoping to take part in the Stretch.
