NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:

Illustration description: An image divided into three parts. The bottom part, a strip of creamy tan with traces of pink, one third the height of the image and stretching the width. The top is divided between two rectangular planes. On the left, a midnight blue, starry sky, complete with a moon in the top left corner. On the right, a bubbly, sunny yellow plane with pink tinge, complete with a glowing white sun in the top right. On the edge of the bottom strip hover red, cherry-like globes with perfect little highlights. Above this, the words of the haiku hang midway between the night and day planes in white Bickham Script Pro Regular font. (Created in Adobe Photoshop Elements.)

I am mostly a visual artist, but I like to create "found poetry", specifically daily haiku made from the statuses of my Facebook friends. It was my Mom who started this, and officially passed the responsibility onto me when she became too busy.

Lou Storey

A textbook example of nominative determinism, Lou Storey has always been a storyteller, a fact well illustrated in his art and in his writing. His careers have reflected that as well, first as a creator of idea-based exhibitions for museums, and later as a psychotherapist employing narrative therapies. His art and his writing share qualities of rich texture and detail, examining our capacity to be absurd while allowing a measure of forgiveness for our foibles. Storey and his husband Steve retired in 2021 and moved from New Jersey to Savannah Georgia. “We love everything about Savannah, it is like a city that looks like a park and thinks it’s a small town. Best of all, we can grow bananas in the backyard!”

Treats Only, Please! by Lauren Scott

Creepy cackles from tall, looming trees
startle their jumpy heartbeats as they walk.
Shadows discreetly follow the echoes
while they timidly proceed down the block.

Young voices repeat with conviction,
“It’s just a night for entertainment.”
There’s no need for goosebumps and fear
as their eyes focus on the cracked pavement.

Undeniably sensing they’re not alone,
many follow in their hesitant footsteps,
eager to reach doors and push doorbells
but afraid of frightening special effects....
