9/30/24 Haiku for the Day

On top of the hill
Stands a single barren tree
Beckoning forth life

Blast from the Past:

I buried my hope
At the edge of the wasteland:
Seeds for my return

Scurrying, hopping
A flash of snivels and squeaks
Foraging coati

Blast from the past:

Cats play on the street;
When they see me coming, are
Scared, scattering deer.

Ants along the wall
Ants flying throughout the air
Ant bites itch my skin.

Blast from the past:

Ants are in my pants.
I need to get these stupid
Ants out of my pants.

Oh, do you really
Understand the sound of spring
Rain on the soft brook?

Blast from the Past:

Why continue a
School of thought? Craft your style. Don’t
Rest beneath their hedge.

The chapter ended
With no summons, no climax,
No theme, no punchline.

Blast from the past:

A lot of racket
From a small frog jumping
Into a puddle

I crawl back into
That space of
Unfamiliarity.

Blast from the past:

Earth, how big you are,
And how small we humans are
In comparison?

Son of the desert
Against civilization
Discover nature

Blast from the past:

Got to tell the truth.
Unless you’re living a lie,
Then just say nothing.
