Crawling out from under rocks, or latent in my twisted...

I sold my soul, no soulmate remains, Just ashes and echoes of celestial chains. I slipped through the cracks of the devil’s gate, Now I’m the storm you’ll learn to hate.

There are two types of women, I've found One type fights in silence, steady and strong The other thrives in the spotlight, fierce and bold. I could go on about the latter But the former stretches beyond my imagination How I wish I could grasp the depth of their quiet admiration. The women of today, the second type I've known I...

Author’s note: The following is in haibun form—poetic prose (microfiction with less than 200 words in this case) coupled with a haiku. It was written in response to a writing prompt to (re)tell a Christmas story in local (Michigan in this case) contemporary terms.
