Haiku
Bright and Shiny Places
Minneapolis; metropolis. Once glistened; now dark. Something’s gone. ~ Personal essay pending; a haiku just doesn’t cut it. Subscribe to my Vocal writer’s profile, or follow me on Instagram, Facebook, or Bluesky to be updated when the story drops.

Cosmonautics Day Haiku
April Twelfth - Russia's Cosmonauts' Day, honoring Gagarin's first flight. *** Note: The USSR created Cosmonautics (Cosmonauts’) Day in 1962, one year after Gagarin’s historic 108-minute flight on Vostok 1, and fixed it on April 12. It is still officially celebrated in Russia and most post-Soviet countries as a professional commemorative day, but not a national holiday/day off work. In Russia, it is marked with ceremonies, exhibitions and public events across the country. It is especially important for the space industry and science communities.
