Quote:
It's still not quite right, in my opinion. Anyway, here's a better version, I think: starling multitude murmurates --- I get mesmerized (Sorry for being so fussy. I would have preferred to have just edited my original post, but after a certain amount of time has elapsed, I guess you can't do that anymore.) |

Correction: the haiku in the previous post should read... starling multitude murmurates --- I'm mesmerized (Sorry 'bout that!) |

I screwed up the punctuation in Sunnyside Troll's poem, "Chicken in a Cage". Therefore, I am going to post it again. This time though, I'll add a youtube video at the end of it to show viewers what the debeaking process on a factory farm looks like. Chicken in a Cage I - 'm inside. N - o room. S - uffering with A - ss wounds, N - o beak. I - nhumane torture T - raumatizes me. Y - are you doing this? by Sunnyside Troll |

I started feeling a little guilty about posting Imai Sei's haiku shortly after I posted it. I was feeling guilty because I am vegan and baseball gloves are usually made out of leather. Then I started to wonder if leather-free baseball gloves exist. Woohoo! Apparently they do. Check out: https://www.peta.org/living/personal...-gloves-exist/ |
