it flies
up
above a
pine,
searching for
something
in the
sky
I cannot
find.

I was just rereading this poem. It was fun to create this form that I call a "dyo" which is the Greek word for "two." Each stanza has two lines with two words in the first line and one word in the second line. I would love to read others by other authors.
