My Dear Friends:
NeverEnding Story reached new milestones late last night: 8 M pageviews (FYI: On September 22, 2026, it reached 7 M pageviews).
I’m grateful to everyone who has shared this poetry journey. NeverEnding Story now seeks haiku and tanka submissions. 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; 5,288 followers).

NeverEnding Story 😋
A writer is somebody for whom writing is more difficult than it is for other people.
—Thomas Mann
My fingers click-clacking — hail against the window.
what's left unsaid
between words and lines ...
alone at false dawn
A torrent of thoughts jammed by a word choice.
the cursor blinking
between the last words
ice cracks on the lake
Word choice stands at the center of the practice of writing. This is particularly true for poetry, and even more so for haiku. Simply put, the choice of a word can make or break a poem ...
-- David Grayson, Frogpond, 36:1, 2013
Each word is a matter of life and death.
-- Cid Corman, Little Enough, 1991
And a gentle reminder:
Every time a poem is written, every time a short story is written, it is written not by cunning, but by belief. The beauty, the something, the little charm of the thing to be, is more felt than known.
-- Robert Frost
The world is never the same once a good poem has been added to it.
—Dylan Thomas
A poem after a poem after a poem is POWER!
—paraphrasing Margaret Atwood
Look forward to reading your poetry
Happy Writing
