January is haiku month here. We will be publishing four each Wednesday beginning 1/7. Sharon has a lovely related essay in our “Other Stuff” section. We have now enabled the COMMENT function. So next time you read a piece, let us know what you think. Also, remember to follow us on our FB page, where you’ll be reminded of new pieces and can find links to old ones.
