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.

05/27/25 A New Haiku for a New Day
I resume the course
Of my existence. I’m free
From having to feel.
Blast from the Past:
I never felt more
Free than when I discarded
Your purpose for me.
04/23/25 A New Poem for a New Day
Show me your tears
And I will show you how I can cry with you.Show me your anger
And I will help you flip tables.Show me your joy
And I will show you how I can smile with youShow me your fear
And I will show you how I try to convince myself that I am secureSing me your song
And I will provide its darker melodyShow me your dance
And I will make you look even more elegant as I stumble along with youShow me your grief,
And I will ponder what was lost with youShow me your hopes and dreams,
And I will bask in their glory with youShow me your worries,
And I will tell you which ones scare me tooShow me your mind,
And I will run mental loops around you until we are both confusedShow me your love,
And I will counter it with my ownLean on me,
And I will show you how to lean on no one else ever again
Blast from the Past:
Would you still love me
If the sun dies out and our
Corpses are frozen?
03/22/24 A New Haiku for a New Day
Exhausted I think
About all my conflicted
Emotions
Blast from the past:
Continue to grow
Always, whether you do that
With or without me
03/12/25 A New Poem for A New Day
The complete
Psychedelic scientific experience
Of falling
In love
Blast from the Past:
Take my hand, my love
The winds of age may howl
But soon we’ll be home
03/08/25 A New Poem for a New Day
You
Said
You could
You could say you would
Could you
Blast from the Past:
It’s another day,
Another battle. All I
Want is a ceasefire.
03/06/25 A New Haynaku for a New Day
I saw you
Walk away
Forever
Today I tried out a new form of poem: a reverse haynaku.
Blast from the Past:
Once we were so close
Will you only ever be
Someone I once knew
02/19/25 A New Haiku for A New Day
Life is growth, so if
We’re not growing together,
We’re growing apart
Blast from the Past:
Grow what is working,
And then improve what is not.
Iterative process.
02/15/25 A New Haiku for the Day
Love is life itself
Beauty is what love produces
Harmony is love’s process*
Blast from the Past:
Loved by a dog in
A concentration camp.
It saw my humanity
That other people could not.

02/14/25 A Haiku for Valentine’s Day
I will go with you
To hell, if I can make it
Less hellish for you
Blast from the Past:
Walking down the street
Arms’ locked together, rinsing
Each other’s shadows
Happy Valentine’s Day!
