4 Tankas
For several years, I’ve been studying, exploring and writing tanka poetry. Although I don’t mind trying out rhyming poems and exploring the art of writing rhyming poems, I prefer other formats like free-verse, cinquain, tanka, acrostic, prose, haibun, haiku and micro poetry, because I find them simpler to follow and write. I like that they don’t focus on rhyming and rather on syllables and/or the message being conveyed.

Labyrinth
She's walking all around the maze, deciding whether she wants to stay my friend or not. One day, she'll stop and spot me in a certain corner of the maze. Occasionally, we'll stay in the same location together. On other days, she'll exit the place in which I remain still in. She'll hunt for her own lane and continue ambling along without acknowledging me. She'll forget that we're still friends, and she'll hurt me without knowledge or consciousness. She makes me ask myself if she's really a true friend or a fictitious person who's deceiving me. It's impossible to really know who she really is, because she incessantly changes. She's not always the same person and she's not always on the same boulevard as me. I'm finding my way around the maze, without her support and care. She'll never provide me with hints; I'll need to give myself all the hints. Once I've exited the labyrinth, I'll feel like a million dollars. I won't care for our friendship anymore.

Vegan Banana-Grape Ice Cream
Introduction For the last couple of years, I've enjoyed conjuring a variety of smoothie flavours such as strawberry and banana, banana and mango, blueberry, jumbleberry, red velvet, banana with spinach and peanut butter, chocolate and nut butter, watermelon and banana, chocolate-covered raspberry, sweet potato pie, ube (purple sweet potato) and banana-grape. With both a food processor and Nutribullet smoothie maker, I can easily create these unique and exciting vegan ice cream flavours at home! Staying at home more often gave me the opportunity to think outside the box and come up with potential smoothie recipes to share with all my friends on Vocal!

Wash Away
Dear H20, please wash away all the goop I've kept inside me. I don't want to be contaminated with old grime that makes me putrid like sulphur. A new me equals new energy I have both internally and externally. May I dip my greasy and mucky body into The Fountain of Rebirth and feel like a thousand dollars afterwards?

How Eliminating Gluten Positively Affected My Health
Dear Diary, In the fall of last year, I considered going gluten-free, but I wasn't fully prepared. I needed to read and educate myself well enough to know which foods I'm required to give up and foods that I'm allowed to consume on a non-celiac gluten-free diet. Around that time, I discovered that I can eat everything else except for any products that contain wheat, rye and barley. I'm also avoiding any pastries, breads, pastas and cookies that contain gluten in them, and I don't regret not purchasing, eating and preserving them in my apartment. It took me two months to finally say to myself, "That's it! After everything I've read about and found out on Pinterest and other health websites, I will not eat or keep any wheat, rye, barley and any products that contain white flour".
