It is my first time on this site. Can you tell me what you consider a “short” poem? In checking past submissions, I am finding that the lengths vary in length considerably and am not sure what you consider short. Thanks! Michele

One Thing
One thing I suddenly understood
when a bird
sang on a bough
in a dark wood
is that when that song was heard
by the heart is forever now.

CINQUAINS:
dark earth
now stops my mouth:
the silence of the rose
will blossom in its own season
of truth

today
a special day
that is but never was
because I’m always wanting it
to be
Charl JF Cilliers
always
struggling with words
to fill shapes, when those words
are not content to be the things
themselves
Charl JF Cilliers
my cold breath
mists into
a dove’s call
Charl JF Cilliers
the sun sets
the rain
on fire
Charl JF Cilliers
the heron stands
conducting a chorus
of silences
