A ghoul slithers into the room
She laughs, like she always had, soft and yet convincing
You are nothing to me
she announces
And he cowers in a corner, then finally evaporates as she commands him to leave
Ah, the memories of dreams
She declares as she, too, disappears
#vss365
Ah, but the illusion of
future nightmares
that obscure reason
in pre-dawn hours
That grips the chest
and steals the breath
Ah, but then the reality of
Sunlit dog on bed
lapping the face
and residing right here,
Right now

#randomactsofkindness asks for your patience, empathy and attention. Thoughtfulness done to brighten someone else's day, often for a stranger—without any expectation of a reward or ulterior motive. Small gestures can lift someone's mood, ease hidden struggles and build trust in personal or workplace relationships.

You call me an “angry woman”
Unaware of what has made me so
I’m old now
And tired
But, still, more awake than before
A ravenous appetite for truth,
I laugh at what you think is an insult
And stow it inside my soft belly
As a sharp and clear strength you will never know

Wail of sirens taper
into October night
Carrying neighbor onward
We huddle in middle of the street
Facing fragility, vulnerability, mortality
In our small corner of the world

I cannot not write
No matter the odds
No matter the outcome
Fear and Hope
Love and Loss
Fueling the connection
Between the words
and the heart

To all my followers, especially those whose haiku is included in Haiku for Soulmates: I am still a bit nervous trying to find the right words to capture this momentous milestone‼️
Celebrating on Times Square 🎉💕‼️
I am Gabriela Marie Milton from Literary Revelations (@lr_publisher). On September 23, 2026, all my books—Passions: Love Poems and Other Writings, Woman: Splendor and Sorrow, Haiku and Tanka: Lull, Harmony and Power in Japanese Art (coauthored with Hikari @hikari2162554), and Jezebel’s Island: A psychological and mystery thriller—were shining on the billboards of Times Square, alongside introducing Haiku for Soulmates.
We made history: for the first time in the history of Times Square, a book of haiku was featured on its billboards ‼️‼️‼️‼️
Thank you for stopping by and celebrating with us!
