chased through the cemetery
a grave just for you

Monthly Haiku Corner – March 2026

March has been a little rough, but I have a new haiku to share, celebrating both St. Patrick’s Day and the recent horror show that is the United States. Not everything that glitters is gold.

beware the trickster
whose only concern is gold
death is imminent

Be safe out there.

Monthly Haiku Corner – February 2026

This year, I’m returning to my roots and posting simple horror haiku.

snow moon, dark chaos

snow moon bears witness
murder, rape, and dark chaos
heartbroken fools

Monthly Haiku Corner – January 2026

This year, I’m returning to my roots and posting simple horror haiku.

ICE cold hands
shocking murder in plain sight
dead of winter

Monthly Haiku Corner – December

You better watch out.
You better not pout.
You better not cry,
or you’ll give your hiding spot away.

Our theme this month is A Christmas to Dismember and it pairs perfectly with December’s cold moon, aptly named for the dip in temperatures. Winter is coming….but if ask any left american, it’s been here since last January.

under a cold moon
a Christmas to Dismember
hiding from Santa

Be safe out there.

death comes for us all

Monthly Haiku Corner – October

Happy October! We are a haunted nation, full of demons masquerading as god’s children, in places we never dreamed, doing things we don’t want to imagine.

Resist evil.

October’s full moon is the first supermoon of the year, a harvest moon, named for time of year when crops are plentiful. Too bad no one is around to pick them.

screams that no one hears
beware of those haunted souls
nation full of ghosts

Be safe out there.

Monthly Haiku Corner – September

Happy September! I’m so excited the ‘Ber months are back! This is my favorite time of year. It’s also the time of year that seems to go by super fast, making it hard to enjoy the holidays. The way things are going in America, I think this year will be important to celebrate Halloween, lean into traditions we love and make new memories. This is the way only way to keep our hearts and spirits free.

This month’s full moon is corn moon, named after the harvest time in North America. It’s also a blood moon, a total lunar eclipse. It’s a special night for charging crystals and casting spells to keep evil away. Hopefully, it work on earthbound evil as well.

It’s not that I think the world will end anytime soon, but we’re getting to the point where choices for survival may need to be made sooner than we ever thought possible. In some ways, it feels like the 80s all over again, with the same damn players! Except this time, we have treasoners in the mix! So, this Halloween season, grab a GenX’er and party like it’s 1999. I’m not going to say it’s our last Halloween, cuz unlike my younger self, I still have hope.

Be safe out there.

when all the bombs drop
pumpkin apocalypse
nature’s last scare

Monthly Haiku Corner- August

Happy August! This month’s theme is August Aliens, in honor of FX’s new show Alien Earth, the exciting new chapter in the Alien universe, brought to us this time by Noah Hawley, a writer and producer known for Bones, Legion, Fargo and more. I cannot wait!

Like tonight’s Sturgeon Full Moon, change can be good. This time of year marks the end of summer and the coming of Fall harvest. This is Halloween pre-season. It’s time to get our spooky on! So, look to the skies and wonder what’s out there. What scary monsters are peeking at us from behind the stars?

Don’t forget the corporate monsters down here, tearing apart mother earth and unending years of deep rooted traditions. Resist! Stand by your traditions and be proud of your culture. Be open to all cultures and let’s learn from each and celebrate together.

steel hearts of corporate monsters
run, while monsters fight

Sometimes it’s better to hang back and observe.

Be safe out there!
