I remember learning about haiku poems and their 5-7-5 syllables in grade school (mainly because my brain mixed them up with my area code 7-5-7). I was the kid who clapped out each syllable. Who am I kidding? I'm now the adult who claps out each syllable. Anyway, it wasn't until the haiku I wrote below where I realized most of my work has sexual undertones. 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. For more haiku related work check out the literary journal Prune Juice and their English Senryu poetry. https://prunejuicesenryu.com/

everything around us splits
