07/15/25 A New Haiku for a New Day

Gunk now fills both eyes
My throbbing throat can’t swallow
Puss ooze from my scabs

I’m sick today.

Blast from the Past:

Not only are we
On the same boat, but we’re all
Seasick together.

Shipwreck out at sea
A relic of social decay
Now a world for fish

Blast from the Past:

It is painful to
Think all the progress we’ve made
Might one day recede

The twilight coolness
The lofty sky’s flawed and dead
My soul’s solitude

Blast from the Past:

Pulsating through space,
The glory still radiates
From the long dead star

Don’t have to do much
For a cat to be willing
To jump on you lap

(And then immediately jump right back off.)

Blast from the Past:

The cat naps content
Knowing that she will have food
When she is ready.

06/21/25 A New Haiku Sonnet for a New Day

Lush streams flow water
Down the side of the hill to
The creek far below

Covered with green plants
And flowers as it curves through
The valley it formed

It almost wants to
Be beautiful, except it
Is littered by trash

The urban build squelches the
Beauty of the land itself

(This is a haiku sonnet, three haikus and then two final lines to make up a type of sonnet.)

Blast from the Past:

The once vibrant marsh
Polluted by trains, lanes, and
Industrial sludge
