Move Over Holly, Hanukkah is Here. Top Story - December 2023.
Oh look, it's December! That means it's Chris-HANUKKAH season! That's right, it's time for the Festival of Lights and lots of jelly doughnuts. We'll light some candles, sing some songs, and fill our bellies with fried food. Do you know why?

A Jolly Holly Half Dead Holiday
Zomboi had been feeling the pressures to conform for much too long out in the big city. Everyone was always rushing somewhere, aggressively ignoring his limp and slow swagger. It wasn’t Zomboi’s fault that his limbs were barely held together, but he still tried to keep up.

My Hallways Sing Sorrows
Hairs rise, light quivers The floorboards creak, hallways howl Each step brings shivers ~ This haunted haiku is brought to you by Vocal + Assist's weekly spooky month challenges! We wanted to do something simple yet engaging to spark some creative thinking. This past week's key word was: shivers.

Oh My Gosh! Can You Believe It?

The Shadow Home Show
Shadows dance cross blank canvas walls The freedom of the space a paradise contradiction To the cluttered floor bound to chaos

The Bonfire Beckons You. Top Story - September 2023.
Embers whisper old tales The hiss between the cracking and crackling reminds of old aches and memories between joints As twigs snap from pressure and heat

Trompo Temptations
Bursting flavours char Flames lick up, drip down goodness Sensual sizzle ~ This haiku was written for the Haiku Challenge released by the Vocal Social Society on Facebook. Although I haven’t done many challenges from other groups in a while, this one looked too delicious to pass up.

That Which Falls From Above
Rain drops fall ever-so softly below It greets this dear foreigner like a sighing hello Where saltless tears lay blessings upon flora
