Writing a poem
While whizzing by on the back
Of a motorbike
Blast from the Past:
The world must slow down,
Or be less intriguing that
I can fly through it.

Writing a poem
While whizzing by on the back
Of a motorbike
Blast from the Past:
The world must slow down,
Or be less intriguing that
I can fly through it.

I sit here thinking
Up the poem I will write
One word at a time
Blast from the Past:
I must write one of
These haikus. If only I had
Any inspiration.

New poem
In my ever building quest
To write something down
Blast from the Past:
Some days, your haiku’s
Utterly brilliant, but on
Others, it’s like this.

Books books
Everywhere
But not the time to read
Blast from the Past:
Long winded sentence
Making several points at once
Is best read aloud

Some days you have time
To think up a great haiku,
Others this must do
Blast from the Past:
This is the haiku
That never ends. Keeps going
On and on… Oh wait.

// A Java Haiku
public static void
haiku(String cheese) {
System.out.print(cheese); }
Today, I felt like writing a haiku in Java. It’s a programming pun, based on the common word “string” in programming lexicon but also the idea of string cheese.
Blast from the Past:
‘ Haiku in Basic
print(five_word_sentence$)
print(five_word_sentence$+ ” and then”)
print(five_word_sentence$)

Writer’s paradox
Literature simulates life
Impossible shepherds
Blast from the Past:
Graphic medicine
Eye of a budding writer
I’m so sick of words

Ode to that great thought
That disappeared when I went
To write it down.
Blast from the Past:
Combed inspiration
Within, but all I unearthed
Was my own sifting

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.

A new haiku for
A new day, always writing
Another poem
Blast from the Past:
Today’s haiku would
Be easier to write with
Some inspiration.
