The Cracked Door – Daily Haikus

Year: 2025

03/23/25 A New Poem for a New Day

The Mall

Cold, sterilized air
Shops selling their combos of
Flavored sugar flour
What country even is this?
Does it make a difference?

Blast from the Past:

Markets, malls, online,
Peddling the same old stuff
Under the setting sun.

03/22/24 A New Haiku for a New Day

Exhausted I think
About all my conflicted
Emotions

Blast from the past:

Continue to grow
Always, whether you do that
With or without me

03/21/25 A New Haiku for A New Day

Race of suitcases
Flurry of sandals and heels
Leaving the subway

Blast from the Past:

Sitting on the subway,
Buried in the exhausting
World of franchises

Oh, spring renewal
A time to fix old mistakes
By making new ones

Blast from the Past:

A spring sky so clear
That you feel you are seeing
Into tomorrow.

03/19/25 A New Poem for a New Day

I
Let
I let you
I let you go once
I let you go before I knew

(This is a Fibonacci Poem.)

Blast from the Past:

As we moved closer,
Our rainbow disappeared from
Right in front of us.

03/18/25 A New Haiku for a New Day

Another moment
When my thoughts are racing and
I’m hoping for sleep

Blast from the Past:

Revel in darkness.
Woke up afraid of my shadow.
Sleep off my demons.

Here on the toilet
Trying to write a haiku
Soon I will be done

Blast from the Past:

Think up a haiku
Showering, but it’s gone when
Done. Oh greatness lost.
