04/22/26 A New Haiku for a New Day

You can’t be your best
Person in a place you are
Trying to outgrow.

Blast from the Past:

It’s just me and you
What you water’s what you grow
Growing without you

04/13/26 A New Poem for a New Day

Do something grand
Do something amazing
But you won’t do any good
If you come guns a blazing

Blast from the Past:

Would an avenged pot
Ever really manage to
Hold water again?

The cuscus glances at
His lover across the branch
In the afterglow of sex

Blast from the Past:

What is the point of
Fine roses in the pathway if
You can’t enjoy them?

03/05/26 A New Haiku for a New Day

Fly me to the moon.
Hand my hand and don’t let go.
Life will find a way.

I close both my eyes
Because you can pierce through them
Right into my soul

02/18/26 A New Tanka for a New Day

Ants run about like
The flurry of activities
That amounted to
Not much that the one you loved
Would perform every day

There is nothing
More fascinating than
Another person

02/15/26 A New Poem for a New Day

Suppose you and I are the same.
Then you multiply me the same way I multiply myself
What if I then take the way you multiply yourself?
You and me multiplies with you without me the same way you multiply with me without you.
Ok, just divide you without me.
What is left?
You and I are the same as just you.
You are the same as two of me
As you become nothing

Blast from the Past:

Persuasive rebuke
A studied provocation
Influence lingered

02/04/26 A New Haiku for a New Day

Nothing is harder
Than actually walking in
Someone else’s shoes

Blast from the Past:

Judging another
It is a lot of work and
Rarely worth the time.

01/26/26 A New Haiku for a New Day

What questions persist,
What keeps you going
After the dew fades

Blast from the Past:

Because I did nothing,
Because I did too much,
Because I did not intervene enough,
Because I interjected too much,
I am leaving your because

01/17/26 A New Haiku for a New Day

I sit in your box
Wondering the next moment
I can move beyond these walls

Blast from the Past:

I tried but was ignored. Moving on.
Your mind’s made up. Forced darkness.

01/14/26 A New Haiku for a New Day

All I can do is
Nothing
Compared to the
Heaven you give me

Blast from the Past:

Instead of “better half”,
I prefer the idea of
One’s “bettering half”
