Hmmm... This seems eerily familiar...

To honor this new discovery and add a little food for thought, I'm putting my short story eBook, Dragonfly, out for free for the next five days (11/12-11/16) on Amazon.

This morning I compared Musk's new reference site, Grokipedia to my normal go-to, Wikipedia. I entered "January 6 United States Capitol attack" in both places, telling me all I need to know about Grokipedia.

I won't be using it.

Jacqueline never thought about romance until she meets the charming Alain de Guise. Through political intrigues, sorcery and vampires and ghosts, and her own self-doubt, Jacqueline and de Guise forge a love with a passion that would burn the ages. Read the Twins of Bellesfées novels. ❤️

Beautiful and true
There are days
clouds obscure the sun
casting gloom
across earth’s surface.
It’s then
flowers shine brighter
echoing the sun‘s brilliance,
a reminder that
the gloom will pass.
We too, when
cast in gloom,
remember the echoes
of that which gives life,
until the gloom passes.

Full moon’s cold shadow.
Rivulets of red clay splash,

Love that song!
#Haiku is alive!

Reading this haiku by Tom Sterling, we heard *In My Life* by the #Beatles. Tom's words need no comparison, they stand on their own. We've got a #HaikuCrush on Tom and the Fab Four!

Guitar strumming on the porch.
