Thank you, John! Considering your writing skills, I'm 100% sure you will. Oh, of all the haiku, it had to be the one where a priest is confronted with my sins! 🙈🙈🙈

A not-so-long-ago quarrel and the fact that @thebrokenspine.co.uk is looking for #PoemsAbout #Rot made me write an experimental #haibun. Happy Friday! Cheers!
Rot in Hell

Through the glassiness of suburban stars, I stretch out my hand to tuck them in. With each one, the root of red bleeds as if the devil's a painter. I splay my fingers like paintbrush bristles and sway them across the horizon. They tickle the gates. Suddenly, I become the black ink of the galactic canvas amid the last traces of fiery red. At once, I can hear the shouts of my family and the screams of the doomed.

A haibun up at Heliosparrow Poetry Journal:

It was never about the earbuds... I'm having a tough time so the poems might be more on the dark/sad side. Please no advice or platitudes. It is what it is. #poetry #sadpoetry #healingpoetry #panicattack #mindfulness

It's up. Please share Joanna's poem, as she unfortunately isn't on Bluesky. She deserves that more people discover her poetry. When I started writing haiku, she was one of my biggest influences.

Joanna Ashwell, holy mother. It's been quite a long time since I was this struck by a poem before. It reminds me of healing during therapy.
Liminal

I can occupy both spaces at once, swaying on the threshold of past and present. There is a moment between the light fading and dusk beginning, that I slip within slides of day and night. My voice can contain the hum of a songbird or the silence of a snowflake. The not quite spoken, the almost unheard. A whisper in the ear, before a dream. Starlight gathering on the hem of darkness. The void when a pen hovers above paper. Somewhere a word splashes within the mind, touchdown on a memory. This jumble pushed and pulled together to form the pieces of a process.

transitions
a desert rose
pinned to the heart
