12 Micropoems

Make the reader tremble in 3 lines

So I told her

“Don’t worry about the voices,”

Before I turned off the lights

9 words you should have said before the train doors closed

“Just don’t leave your coat at home next time.”

23 syllables for a final day

I never thought I would lose

The life I held so precious

But I just hope

Peace lies at the end

Swim in the abyss in three lines

As I dip into the black velvet

I feel the chill and heat from the void

Seep and pulse through my veins.

-Anne Larsen
