08/11/25 A New Haiku for a New Day

To build something that
Outlives you, you must learn how
To change the wind’s course.

Blast (or maybe breeze) from the Past:

All that will remain
Of my former self will be
The heralding wind

08/10/25 A New Haiku for a New Day

The blackness of life
First sword of the lightning bolt
Invisible chasm

Blast from the Past:

When the world goes dark,
We get to see the brightness
Of the stars above.

08/09/2025 A New Anagrammatic Poem for a New Day

Title: “Relationshipped”

Had intense passion
Attained the pursuit
A relationship

To see it slip
Into nothing
Depleting

All that persists
Is tiredness
At the idea of
Another one

This is an anagrammatic poem. I can only use the letters of the word in the title.

Blast from the Past:

If
I
If I
If I would
If I would let you
If I would let you go fully

This second one is a Fibonacci poem, where the syllable counts follow the Fibonacci sequence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQR1NY03zIA. Mathematically, the Fibonacci sequence is about adding the previous two numbers together to make a new number, so I replicated that by starting with two words “If” and “I” and after each line adding words more to the previous line to change the meaning of the statement.
