- AI Feast (Haiku Poetry) Hello! We're stuck in the deep freeze here in Alberta. I set a pan of candy outside to cool yesterday. I needed to wear oven mitts to retrieve it from inside the deck to avoid the dangerous burning sting of the cold metal pan. As a sometimes writer, I find myself not only…

- Nothing But Now (Haiku Poetry) Hello! It's trippy to think that outside of this moment, nothing is really happening. No matter how recent or soon, it's either past or future. It's a memory, illusion, hope or dream. I took this photo nearly ten years ago now when a flock of Bohemian Waxwings landed…
