I just had two more poems accepted by Three Line Poetry, this time for inclusion in Issue 6. This brings the total up to four (had one in Issue 3 and one in Issue 4). Not sure if that makes a regular contributor, but it kind of feels that way. Also makes me wonder about the rigor of the selection process, although they have rejected a couple poems I submitted. Anyways, I'm not going to worry about that too much-- I'm just having fun.
The poems are included below. The first was written originally as a three line poem. The second started as a five line poem; I removed the fourth line and combined the third and fifth. I think that's also part of what I like about the three line poems-- taking a slightly longer poem and modifying it to work in only three lines.
Mourning dove, do you notice me
as you alight upon the patio?
I wonder, who is in whose space?
Ten thousand blossoms
have bloomed and fallen again.
Will we ever walk among the cherry trees?
