I have enjoyed writing for most of my life, never professionally.
I wish to now share my stories with others, lets see where it goes.
Born and raised on the Canadian Prairies, I currently reside on the West Coast. I call both places home.

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.

The fun thing about Icarus that I like is that he wasn't supposed to fly too low either, else the mist off the ocean would weigh down his wings. 😁
This is what it means to be human. Children not heeding advice and wisdom. Parents having to watch the tragey unfold.
Ohh I do love Icarus!! Excellent
I love this story. Great idea for your haiku. Is my count off? Last line is short syllables. Just checking, would hate this to be off.
I love Greek mythology and I really love this. Brilliant work!
Epic Haiku ❤️ Very cool
