Will I ever find
A contentment that will quench
My thirst to explore?
Blast from the Past:
Standing at the edge.
This is my world. What wondrous
Waterfalls await.

04/30/25 A New Poem for a New Day
Meaningless blue sky
Boredom of discovering
I am what I see
Blast from the Past:
Oh to the great hunt,
But when I catch it, I’m bored.
Forever chasing.
04/05/25 A New Haiku for a New Day
One, lone airplane
Flying over the ocean,
Taking me to new worlds
Blast from the Past:
This winding dirt road
What wonders I must go see
To explore the world
03/31/25 A New Poem for a New Day
A gorgeous waterfall
A gorgeous hike
Hike through rainforest
Hike through rain
Rain will fall
Rain will end
End, please, end
End then go
Go while dry
Go, what’s next
Next comes fog
Next we drive
Drive our motorbike
Drive, mist blinds
Blind, can’t see
Blind on mountainroads
Roads turn everywhere
Roads, ascending falling
Falling temperature
Falling line-of-sight
Sights on lunch
Site to stop
Stop and wait
Stop and warm
Warmfront, rain gone
Warmed and ready
Ready to depart
Ready for home
Home, I’ll dry
Home, I’ll shower
Shower returns again
Shower but light
Light, that’s okay
Okay, keep going
Okay for now
Now, it worsens
Now, it’s pouring
Pouring down rain
Pouring onto highway
Highway floods up
Highway becomes stream
Stream, must drive through
Stream splashing water
Water not just
Water and hail
Hail on arms
Hail on face
Face this, must
Face, get home
Must get home
(This is a blitz poem about an adventure I trying to drive in Indonesia in a storm.)
Blast from the past:
Storms pass me over
Loudly erring displeasure
Just to dissipate
03/30/25 A New Haiku for a New Day
It’s in the ashes
I’ve the ability to
Invent a new dawn.
Blast from the Past:
Let us venture forth.
Hoist the anchor. Sail into
Abysmal failure.
03/26/25 A New Haiku for a New Day
Endless planks leading
To the ocean’s horizon,
How far should I go?
Blast from the Past:
I walk along the
Path that refuses to begin,
Eternal present
03/25/25 A New Haiku for a New Day
Tired, unable
To sleep in the airport
A walking zombie
Blast from the Past:
This wasted effort
To get some sleep that never
Really wants to stay.
03/02/25 A New Poem for a New Day
Over the hustle of cars and people,
A lone train softly glides by,
Dividing the flurry
From the still high-rises above
Blast from the Past:
Nomadic, exile,
Traveling, adventurous,
Migrating movement
01/26/25 A New Da, A New Haiku
Finally alone
With the time now to wonder where
Everybody is
Blast from the Past:
Flag on the mountain
Temple of my familiar
Tattoos on the heart
01/16/25 A New Day, A New Haiku
On the plane leaving
The city I have lived in
For the last five years
Many adventures,
Many frustrations, many
Lessons flow beneath me
