Watermelon
Caroline's Haiku Honey challenge
Nothing compares with a sun saturated afternoon, anticipated longing, and a slice of cool watermelon. This arose from a slightly longer poem about how I think a watermelon is made. Let your imagination wander and wonder ...

A Glaring Omission
I made peace with being cast out by others pretty early in life. As lonely as it may sound, I don’t recall many times during childhood when those actions affected me any longer than a moment or two. Being deemed the weird/gay/weird gay freak by everyone from neighborhood kids to blood relatives allowed me the privilege of sneaking away whenever I pleased to dive deeper into hobbies that molded the proud pop culture geek and writer I am today.
