Food, spirits, or drugs,
can fool my body’s delight!
Like a stunted tree.
We believe this Haiku poem means that we often use food, spirits (most likely hard liquor), and drugs to indulge our bodies, tricking them into feeling great, but it would often come at a high cost, deforming and damaging our bodies just like a stunted tree.

A double rainbow
A wondrous mysterious,
Gift of luck and joy
This simple yet well-written piece expresses how wonderful yet mysterious a double rainbow is, with the writer considering it a great gift that signifies happiness and good luck. It’s also another way to say that we should stop, look up at the sky and enjoy the small things.
