“Love”
Transcendent passion,

Moonlit Musings – Broken
Harsh Reality
You thought things would change
Like the words meant I’d miraculously be better
But passed experience has left me lastingly bitter.
All my love before has been vicious –
Cracked glass and thrown dishes,
Haiku Sunday – Ending 2
“Ending 2”
“It’s snowing on Mt.
Fuji,” is not a proper
ending to haiku.

Friday Write-Day: Trimming the Fat
Manuscript: Beta has been difficult to deal with this week, in a sort of weird, roundabout, good way. I made my first major cuts from Manuscript: Alpha… Continue reading “Friday Write-Day: Trimming the Fat”
