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

Make this place your own
Decorate your prison cell,
Shelf of empty jars

Blast from the Past:

Have we trapped ourselves
Inside unsatisfying
Narratives of gain?
