I love your newsletter, and read each issue, though I rarely comment. But today’s prompt sparked a special memory. Several years ago, I published a collection of about 500 horror haiku. That project was kicked off with this poem about astral projection:
🤯Thank you for reading! I always read yours too, but I worry real poets will hate me for messing up haiku 🫣 You don’t even know how happy you just made me🥲
This is the exact reason I’ve never tried to astral project. I’m skeptical but IF it worked, I would definitely get lost. I love it🖤
You are very much a real poet! I do think many poets take poetry way too seriously. I love the idea of genre poetry (like horror haiku!) I also have a half finished sci-fi haiku manuscript hanging around that's waiting for me to finish up some other projects.
Interesting, I’ve heard of those but haven’t ever really looked into them. With my limited understanding I would say that makes sense, without your body something like that would be easier to follow.
Oh, I did a rough count. I think I've hit more than 100! contributions now for this Horror Haiku Club, including ones I didn't post here, but my brain was jogged here.
So thanks to the 'gloom Stack for helping to keep those creative muscles toned...

Lost on astral plane
without GPS, how can
I find my way home?

Thank you 😊 I always kind of see poetry as the rebel’s medium.
Sci-fi haiku sounds amazing. I would love to read it!
Yes! Poetry is for rebels!
A ley line is disclosed secret of those in the know.

Astral projection
Frightens me; I'd be tempted
To sever the cord...
Ooo, that’s a thought. Gave me the shivers.
The temptation of the irrevocable...😬
I can’t stop picturing myself floating untethered out into space and I’m having anxiety🫣
Welcome to my nightmare...!😬
No.🫠
To be or not to be that is the question…
It’s nice to think about ditching the old meat sack now and then… BEing without it.
Double double toil and trouble take on a new meaning to a withes brew . Soul mates zip line to a sabbath dance.
Um… I LOVE soul mates zip lining to sabbath! What an awesome image 😍🖤
Witches brew
And thus, the soul can live when the body dies...
That’s the question isn’t it? Is the soul tied to consciousness? Is there a soul?

Woooo!!!! Congratulations! And always glad to be of service🫡
Astral projection:
You fly Boeing and arrive…
...before the landing
Trippy😵💫
More like bad trippy...
Last trippy😭
No drugs involved
Like a yo-yo or basket ball you rebound.
Your body knows the way home attached like a kite, snaps back when you least expect it.
Hmm… still too chicken 🐓
This reminds me of the movie Insidious 🫣
Oh man that movie 😱
I love the tone of this🖤 It’s almost gentle, but of course, isn’t at its roots.
