How to Read a Speculative Haiku

The lines of a speculative haiku can appear to make no sense when you read it as it is. Once you unravel its form, you may find yourself spending much time contemplating and uncovering the nuances and layers of its words. — Haiku is not meant to be read literally. It is meant to be sipped like a steaming cup of sakura tea, letting all its flavor slowly permeate your tastebuds. I liken haiku to a puzzle. …

The Horror of 24/7

Neil Gaiman’s Darkest Tale ‘24 Hour Diner’ Stirs Our Greatest Fears — I first read Neil Gaiman’s graphic novel series The Sandman at age 16.

How Netflix’s The Sandman deals with Death in That Iconic Scene — Note: This article contains spoilers for The Sandman (Netflix, 2022). Death is kind. Death is compassionate.

The Art of Healing

A poem about trauma and healing — I. I learned many truths After the life I knew ended. After my father died, After those I loved lied. A small flame lit up And unmasked the truth. Inside the glimmer of lies, Through the fog of night. My life was an illusion, Built to control and imprison. II. I learned…
