Monthly Haiku Corner – February

Valentines is the epitome of an overcommercialized holiday. It imposes on parents, encourages sexual stereotypes, enables predatory behavior, and obstracizes the lonely, making them feel worse than they already do. Cue the horror fans, who have basically hijacked February to be our second Halloween. Nothing wrong with love, enjoy your flowers. My couples advice though, stay clear of small intimate restaurants next to dark alleys. This month’s theme is cannibals in love.

Monthly Haiku Corner – January

New Year. New You. New me!

Time gets the best of all of us, but if starting anew can happen any day of the year, why do we wait for January? Do we really need time’s permission to change? The only thing it’s time to do is toss out old thinking. The theme this January is about rebirth.
