My plane departs towards a new world
A long long time ago, I left my own world behind

Everyone I meet here welcomes me
Cultural cousins of the ones I just visited

Kindred spirits but islands apart
Many here cannot afford to see their fellow kin

A short flight, but they might as well be
A world away from this island that makes up their home

A world I can traverse on each of
My many flights as I hop around to see what’s here

This one is a landay poem, which is made up of 9 syllable then 13 syllable couplet. They are supposed to demonstrate contrasts.

Blast from the Past:

Tossed into this world
You will receive everything
Will it be enough?

I suffer from life
Heavy eyes and empty brain
The roads are traveled

Blast from the Past:

When sleep finally
Catches up to me, I’ll rest
For eternity

Our planet is vast
I only want you to dream
I will go with you

Blast from the Past:

In this world of dust,
Every single speck is
A vast universe

I sit on the bed
Tired, my eyes hurt, my head spins.
It is when I stop
I feel all the exhaustion
Now all built up within me

Today, I wrote a waka instead of my usual haiku.

Blast from the Past:

In the search for wonder
There are no endings
Only beginnings,
Eternal exhaustion

Legendary
Kite for some beach fun
A rad base
Complete with cafe and beer garden
Sleep comfortably

Nature spent the last 250 million years crafting her canvas
Don’t take our word for it
Warn others

Blast from the Past:

The hustle is real
You will need experience
Ride for free after
