The second of my collections of poems written for "Express It In Eight."

As usual these days, I choose blog format because it offers more space for the work.

Lean on Me

Like a house of cards
we build the poem
word by word
and card by card.

All depends on balance
one supports another
until a careless slip
and all comes tumbling down.



Line count: 8
Free verse
For Express It In Eight, 09.22.25
Prompt: Write a flimsy poem.
