The Spark
A Haiku Strain
Under warm blankets,
Comfort spawns a hollowness,
My antagonist
A new light of spring,
May this sequestration birth
green epoch's heroes
Hollowness! Darkness!
As their bright banes, Arise now,
Summer Harbingers!

Scared of Surgery Anesthesia? You Can Cure Yourself of that Awful Fear
A friend recently published a story about their fear of anesthesia and surgical procedures. They said they felt like a coward. I am here to say they are not cowardly—they are human and normal. We are all anxious and intimidated when we face serious medical issues.

I like this very much and wonder how you came up with this thought.
Ready and not ready to emerge it seems.
Welcome back! Your haikus beautifully capture the changing seasons and the emotions that come with them.
