What would happen if Old Scratch and his wicked sisters invaded your dreams?

Ubiquitous Energy, Dark & Scary
Scientists have been studying what they have dubbed “dark matter” for decades, which is an epistemological black hole of sorts, because they don’t know what it is, really…it’s a mystery.
This NASA Science – Astrophysics article titled “Dark Energy, Dark Matter” explains how scientists have several ideas about what black matter is not, rather than what it is. And several articles I have read articulate the foregone conclusion that, should we discover what dark matter/dark energy is, it is likely that our common knowledge of gravity and the theory of relativity would be turned upside-down. How’s that for an astrophysical, cosmological quagmire?
Then I discovered a poetry genre grounded in dark matter. I’m not surprised. I don’t think I’ll latch on to this movement, but it did tickle my creative taste buds. Continue reading to see my dark matter haiku. Thanks for visiting, and Happy New Year, y’all.

Shout About It:
George DeLorge
I have never met George, but my co-worker tells me, “He’s a stinker!” She adds, “He won’t go potty outside alone, we have to go out in the cold with him, and he’ll eat just about anything he can get his paws on…he’s a naughty dog!”
Granted, George (pictured below) is still technically a puppy–and a big one at that! And, if you continue reading, you will see for yourself just what a big stinker he really is…also, you will see a haiku I have dedicated to George DeLorge.
Shout About It:
Dogs of December
This recent picture of our Australian Shepherd Molly (taken at Harmon Patridge Park) reminds me of all the winters spent playing with her in the snow. She has been our loyal friend for seven years. At age eight, she has a few more winter play days left in her–more great fun to be had! She has lost a step in her elder years, but she’s still fast, powerful, agile, and her heart is as big it ever was! The haiku below is dedicated to Molly Lindsey.
Shout About It:
Ohio State Haiku
The Ohio State University fueled the flames of their rivalry with the University of Michigan today in a 42 to 13 gridiron victory in the Big House. In lieu of gloating over this lopsided football match, I’ll merely tell it like it is in the language of the haiku. Better luck next time, Big Blue!
