A tiny house is only as small as the minds that are within it.
Our travels continue and will take us through Labor Day. Ten days ago, we were in Philadelphia and had the pleasure of spending an afternoon at the historic Valley Green Inn with Claudia McGill and Merril Smith. The tiny house that is pictured is a wonderful gift that I received from Claudia.
This American sentence is shared with Open Link Night #322 – Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!
The American Sentence was created by Allen Ginsberg

I’m happy the Tiny House could inspire a poem. And that its spirit speaks to you. I try to put good feelings in each house I make, just as if it were full size.

Interesting! What’s the difference between Ginsberg’s American sentence and monoku?

They do seem similar, but monoku isn’t a strict sentence and can be flexible with syllable count.
