Strain fades as night nears
Hello August; Goodbye August. The fall semester at ASU started last week and things around here have been stressful. It’s kept me away from writing unfortunately. Gretchen has been sending me anxiety filled texts. Maybe I should start replying in haiku to ease the tension she’s sending me. The #haikuchallenge word today is strain and we are all feeling it; I wanted to remember the relaxing staycation we took in July.
Fall semester starts
Learn how to calm anxieties
Melt away day’s strain
