Context?
inexcusable; decontextualization undeniable * Thanks for reading! Author's Notes: The great Gerard DiLeo challenged me to write a 5.7.5 format senryu/haiku with just three words. This is my entry? I had two others to choose from too that I might publish at a later date. I have also done a few in the past...because...you know it's not hard enough lol.

Inner Demands
This rumbling inside, hungry for a feast or fight, both demand action.

Roaring Silence
Sizzling in the heat, cars roaring beyond the wall, a thirst for silence.

Sincerity . Top Story - May 2024.
True sincerity is the scariest thing to hear It hurts to have others truly know our pain To know someone that has stood in the same rain

The Shadows of Whispering Pines. Content Warning.
In the heart of the ancient forest, where the shadows whispered secrets and the pines murmured tales of old, lay the enigmatic Whispering Pines—a realm of mystery and darkness shrouded in the embrace of nature. Its tangled undergrowth and looming trees bore witness to centuries of forgotten whispers and unseen forces that danced among the shadows.

Fixing the Jigsaw
Everyone wants to win. I know I do.Friendly competition, to some degree, is even necessary in some contexts. But the win at all costs attitude can have negative consequences for relationships, esecially significant ones. The jealousy that sometimes arises easily turns bosom buddies into foes, which is a tremendous pity.
