Shouting, never listening
Everything is opposition
What a pathetic encounter
Blast from the Past:
Sitting and waiting
Just as you stipulated
Forced passivity

Announcement: I will be offline for a few days
I will be in a remote area with limited internet for a few days. I will still write my haikus, but I won’t have the WiFi to post them. I will post the haikus from this time later after I get back.
04/13/26 A New Poem for a New Day
Do something grand
Do something amazing
But you won’t do any good
If you come guns a blazing
Blast from the Past:
Would an avenged pot
Ever really manage to
Hold water again?
04/12/26 A New Haiku for a New Day
It’s worthless to think
It’s worthless to analyze
When no one else seems to
Blast from the Past:
Can’t think beyond so
What do you do? You bully.
Harm those who differ.
04/11/26 A New Haiku for a New Day
The smallest of things
Zooms up close after a while
Whispering “Hello!”
Blast from the Past:
Uncover the core
Of the impossible. See
The world around you.
04/12/26 A New Haiku for a New Day
My words keep hyphen-
Ating. My eyes always dash-
Ing to the next line.
Blast from the Past:
blah blah blabba blah
those are your five plus seven
plus five syllables
04/10/26 A New Haiku for a New Day
Questions draw people in,
But pronouncements push them away
Ask questions.
Blast from the Past:
Raise troubling questions
Malleable conventions
Few floating forays
04/09/26 A New Haiku for a New Day
Seconds before the
Big impact is the wrong time
To ask what the point is
Blast from the Past:
Isolated in our
Hulking towers of gray stone:
Evil in nonbeing
04/08/26 A New Aphorism for a New Day
If you want to really understand someone, watch how they eat a burrito.
Blast from the Past:
Who do you go to
When you need someone to
Discuss life’s questions?
04/07/26 A New Haiku for a New Day
The stream keeps flowing
Despite my persistent tries
To dam it back up
Blast from the Past:
I stood with branches
Planting my feet in place while
Ideas whirled round
