What is a haiku?
Five plus seven then five more
Just an equation?

Blast from the Past:

Inspiration comes
From within your minds eye but
So does writer’s block.

(I’m back with internet, able to post now. Over the next few days, you’ll see me post my haikus from the last few days.)

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

I sit in the humid air
Trying to sleep
Music blares from a nearby church
It’s not even 6:00 am

Blast from the Past:

Brainstorming: A burst
Of ideas but they vanish
Once pen’s in hand

03/26/26 A New Haiku for a New Day

As I paint these words
In my poem, I really
Paint my very heart

Blast from the Past:

My thoughts fall like rain
As I grab as many as I can
As words for you

May you read my words
As if they were more humble
Than I intended
When I originally
Put them on paper for you

Blast from the Past:

I wrote this haiku in Python, a programming language.

Poetry is the
Window into
The impossible
Through the words of
The possible

Blast from the Past:

To learn what is possible,
You must cross into
The impossible.
