A Gray Light Haiku

A gray light: crisp, clear
Yet somehow shadowed and dim –
A vibrant darkness


6 Word Short Story: Forgot

My mind took an unauthorized vacation.


Air Haiku

Invisible cage,
Not a hard wall or limit:
Felt now in its bite


First Snow Haiku

A bitter feeling:
Both regret for summer’s loss,
And literal cold.


Shower Haiku

Thunderous rainfall
All unnaturally warm:
Weather outside time


6 Word Short Story: Whispers

Depression: You’re too tired to write.


Flat Haiku

Like an old soda:
Undetectable outside,
Flat on the inside.


6 Word Short Story: Shield

Endless scrolling between me and thoughts.


Autumn Haiku

A pervasive chill
Over red, orange, and gold:
Bait to winter’s snare


Flip the Switch

An overwhelming storm,
Harsh and buffeting.

An unsettling quiet,
Deep and suffocating.

An unforgiving wind,
Cold and lacerating.

A temperamental land,
Hard and unpredictable.

A relentless vaccuum,
Strong and inescapable.

An endless rollercoaster,
Riders trapped by bars and belts.
Lifted, dropped, and flung about
Without rhyme, reason, or warning
And no one to hear the screams,
Take the picture, or flip the switch.
