A dusty photo
Riddled with fervent decay
Chases senses, smile

Burning
Seeds of hot peppers Are mild compared to your sly Ego burning me ___________________________ I wrote this haiku about a former co-worker that over time, embedded themselves under my skin. I was seething with rage when I worked with them, but now that the dynamic between us is no longer, I linger on the memories and feel sad. I realize I wasnโt appreciated much by this person, and feel very misunderstood and rather invisible, with no hope of redemption. The suffocating egos Iโve experienced and endured throughout my career working as a cook is staggering. Not to say that gender plays a role in being ego driven, but it was mostly male egos that always seemed to end up hurting me the most. The food industry is dominated by males, so it makes sense.

Writing To Succeed
If you want to find something that will help readers find your writing, possibly expand your audience, and maybe even get you noticed for other things, then youโre not alone. But how can you get it done in a world full of want-to-be writers? Look less at what youโre writing now, and more at what other writers have used to boost their views and reads.
