My Dear Friends:
NeverEnding Story reached a new milestone this morning: 2. 3 M pageveiws (FYI: NeverEnding Story reached 2. 2 M pageviews on March 4, 2025)
I am grateful to everyone who has been a part of this poetry journey. And NeverEnding Story now seeks the haiku and tanka that can bite and bite hard.
The accepted haiku and tanka will be translated into Chinese and posted on NeverEnding Story and X. And you are welcome to follow me on X at @ericcoliu (6 Following; 4,777 Followers).
Defy the law! –
Write the heartbroken

calm between fireballs
in the slanted moonlight
an armless boy's stare
And
A poem after a poem after a poem is POWER!
-- paraphrasing Margaret Atwood
