In Ordinary Genius: A Guide for the Poet Within, Kim Addonizio describes American sentences, a kind of American haiku, a short poem which often records a poignant moment. Here are a few of mine:
Father and daughter walking the dogs
He holds them back, they pull her on
The old couple, both slow
He stops for her to catch up
And takes her hand
The joyful eyes of the little girl
Smiling quietly just because...
The dog barks at the dog barking in the distance
At the dog barking in the distance
A little girl with her mother
Climbing the steps at Borders singing as she climbs
The faster she climbs, the faster she sings
