that house that built me
Split me like a pulled, stray nerve
I tell you to run.
My work:
Patheos,
The Job, The Space Between Us, Green,

How does it work?
Wow I like a good haiku that leaves you with a chill
A raw and emotional reflection on loss, pain, and the urgency to escape.
Wow Melissa! This was powerful! Incredibly done 💌
Gosh that was so hard hitting! So intense!
That second line? Says so much with so few words.
Awesome Haiku

Live lots of life, sprinkling lessons in a jar. Let them simmer for decades. They’ll reach new heights of umami. After 50 years, dispense your wisdom at will.

The Capulets and the Montagues loathed one another. That was the way it was. That was the way it was always supposed to be. Every member of the Montagues had to despise every member of the Capulets and vice-versa. In this hatred, Verona prospered.
