True Friendship Is Eternal
I have friends who I may not speak to for months, and I have friends who I lose contact with and then reconnect with and then started thinking that real friendship is eternal and will always be there. I feel sad for people who give up on friendship, often because of misunderstanding and refusal to forgive.

My Haiku Issue. Top Story - February 2023.
Introduction When Vocal gave us the High-Ku challenge I was quite pleased, but a Japanese friend informed me that what I was writing was not actually haiku but in fact senryū. You can read about the two forms in the links below, but a haiku should include a preferably implied seasonal reference and a “cutting word” to redirect the poem. Vocal completely ignored this in the requirements and when I checked, I don't think one of the winning entries was a true haiku, though I may be wrong.

How Full Are You?
Introduction I'll be honest I joined Vocal to win challenges but was soon aware that I will never be good enough in Vocal's eyes for that, but I have gained an absolute treasure chest of wonderful supportive loving friends and while recognition with financial recompense is great to get, my friendships to me are worth far more.

The Bones Of Sordric
All In A Night’s Work It had been a good night. The house he had robbed had no one in and no alarm, the other thing the back door had not been locked. He wandered through the house, this guy still had DVDs and CDs so obviously had not moved with the times.
