Templar Phoenix Literary Review - Spring 2001

Poetry by
Deborah P. Kolodji

World Travel on a Budget

silver
moon lights the road
to Paris in spring dreams -
April bed journeys, no passport
required.

Motion Sickness

moving
always writing
dark words, her thoughts - driving
thoughts - her words, dark writing, always
moving ...

Virtual Racket

Slamming
e-mail volleys
crashing into the Net
as he fails to score a real life.
Love-Love.

Note that "Motion Sickness" is not only a cinquain, but also a palindrome!
