Carbs and catharsis

Let out all your emotions

Indulge in comfort

*

Thanks for reading!

Just a little funny haiku inspired by a comment to and fro between myself and Donna Fox on another of my pieces called Why/What that you can read here:

I also want to take the opportunity to encourage you to check out some of Donna's work. You can view it here at her profile:

As many of you will know, she is one of the nicest and most supportive creators on Vocal, always leaves insightful and heartfelt comments, and writes some truly amazing stuff of her own. You will find something you enjoy if you haven't already taken a look at her work. Poetry, stories, thought pieces, and more!

You can also check out the rest of my work here.
