I remember learning about haiku poems and their 5-7-5 syllables in grade school (mainly because my brain somehow mixed them up with my area code 7-5-7). I was the kid who had to clap out each syllable. Who am I kidding? I'm now the adult who continues to clap out each syllable. Anyway, in fear that most of my non-fiction essays have already been published in my book, I now use poetry as an attempt to get my work seen. But it wasn't until the haiku I wrote below where I realized most of my work is sexual in nature. Those close to me probably aren't surprised by this, yet for me, it seemed worthy to note. I guess it makes sense how writers are most valuable when they write about a subject they're passionate about.

you touch me until

everything around us splits 

into a void of splinters

Finally, for those who didn't think food could be sexual. Jokes on you.
