To Inspire You
A different way home called to me
beckoned me with strands of song
like a siren through the sea of night.
It was on my journey through the murk they found me
attached to me
fed on me
and now I’m home
somehow heavier after being entirely drained.
~Jeanette Andromeda

Not for grieving mourners, but
For the hungry worms.— Mark L Groves (@FontofFear) April 25, 2017

Not a vile leviathan

Drags swimmers toward sewage plants

How to Haiku
A haiku is a poem with three lines. In the first line there must be 5 syllables. In the second line, 7 syllables, in the last 5 syllables. Here’s a classic example:
Over-ripe sushi,
The Master
Is full of regret.
– Yosa Buson found on haiku-poetry.org
