My Dear Friends:
NeverEnding Story reached a new milestone this morning: 2.8 M pageveiws (FYI: On "August 20," 2025, it reached 2.5 M pageview)
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 (5 following, 5,008 followers).

NeverEnding Story 😋
Share with you my latest gembun:
Writing like the morning sun held in a drop of dew, or at most the sudden flash of lightning.
a poet's headstone
this long dash
between illegible dates
Then, I would like to ask you, my dear fellow poets, one simple yet important question: why write poetry?
The following is the link to a thought-provoking Psychology Today piece, titled "Jane Hirshfield: Why Write Poetry?"
Poetry is a release of something previously unknown into the visible.
FYI: Jane Hirshfield is the author of seven books of poetry, including most recently Come, Thief, and the classic collection of essays, Nine Gates: Entering the Mind of Poetry.
Look forward to reading your poetry
Chen-ou
