My Hallways Sing Sorrows
Hairs rise, light quivers The floorboards creak, hallways howl Each step brings shivers ~ This haunted haiku is brought to you by Vocal + Assist's weekly spooky month challenges! We wanted to do something simple yet engaging to spark some creative thinking. This past week's key word was: shivers.

Trompo Temptations
Bursting flavours char Flames lick up, drip down goodness Sensual sizzle ~ This haiku was written for the Haiku Challenge released by the Vocal Social Society on Facebook. Although I haven’t done many challenges from other groups in a while, this one looked too delicious to pass up.

The Hidden Struggles of Being a Teacher
Every time school is about to start, whether after summer, winter, or spring break, I get bad dreams. I dream of my students changing, of all the supplies disappearing, of strangers constantly interrupting my class. I dream of a loss of control. And it's scary.

Big Brotherly Things
The perks of the job were always the stories; no one drove these yellow death cabs for the money. Everyone always raved about the gossip they’d catch during the rides, gathering ‘round for drinks and petty poker to share. There’d always be a contest for the craziest story. Some would spill stories of bank robbers in the making, killers depositing bodies at the bridge, and always of the typical shady affair that the asshole would think no one knew about; we all knew though.
