The big city fades
Into the bright horizon
Of the vast ocean
Blast from the past:
Tombs face our skyline.
Our world watched by what it’ll become,
Dust under the sun.
10/11/24 Haiku for the Day
10/10/24 Haiku for the Day
This culture we’ve built
That molds how we craft our lives
It will mean nothing
Blast from the past:
And what will be left
In a thousand years or less
Amidst all these stones?
10/9/24 Haiku for the Day
Today’s my birthday.
How to make it special when
You love everyday?
Blast from the past:
New revolution
In our random time cycle,
Supposed new me
10/8/24 Haiku for the Day
That great ancient door
That no matter what you do
Will never open
Blast from the past:
Our flood became an
Immobile star, ancient overflow,
That we may prefer.
10/7/24 Haiku for Day
Towering goddess
Holding a new Cadillac
Dribbling with blood
Blast from the past:
I mourn for the world
The gulf widens from what could
Be to what we have
10/6/24 Haiku for the Day
Based on your anger,
You overreached, destroying
Something important
Blast from the Past:
Anger is acid
Eating you from the inside
‘Til you let it out.
10/5/24 Haiku for the Day
I won the battle
To discover it does mean
More than the whole war
Blast from the Past:
Even though it is
Often full of strife, at
Least I have a life.
10/4/24 Haiku for the Day
Our entire day
Channeled through the pulsations
Of the clicking clock
Blast from the Past:
Release your desires,
A drop in the bucket of
Human endeavor
10/3/24 Haiku for the Day
The waterfall’s top
With its torrents of water
Still teems with turtles
Blast from the past:
The lone seagull fades
Into the vast thundercloud’s
Forceful harmony
10/2/24 Haiku for the Day
Life’s just one more day
Then another “one more day”
After another
Blast from the Past:
Ties and collared shirts
Washed onto the shore in the tide,
In and out each day
