Ascend the staircase
To reach a summit that is
Nothing at all
Blast from the past:
The back stairs lead down
To a dingy basement. The
Sign reads “No Exit”

05/22/26 A New Haiku for a New Day
If you feed the cats,
The rats will flee
Blast from the past:
Initiation
Countdown sequence beginning
Is there enough time?
05/20/26 A New Haiku for a New Day
Constant speed bumps
Bump bump bump
For my butt
Blast from the past:
If I make you whole,
And you make me whole,
Then I make myself whole.
05/19/26 A New Haiku for a New Day
Cozy and asleep,
The cat only needs to wake
To catch one mouse
Blast from the past:
Never know when to
Stop. Push yourself far enough
Everything crumbles.
05/18/26 A New Haiku for a New Day
Writing a haiku
On a bus as the world flies
By and by outside
Blast from the past:
Singing loud, dancing,
Embodying the ceaseless
Cry for harmony
05/17/26 A New Haiku for a New Day
Writing a haiku
When I’m not sure what to say
Put words on a page
Blast from the past:
Inspiration flees
When it realizes you’re
Desperately tracking it.
05/16/26 A New Haiku for a New Day
The sense of the self
Filters to us from every
Commercial we watch
Blast from the past:
The former ghost town
Now bristling with commuters
Dodging the ritzy
05/15/26 A New Haiku for a New Day
No matter the effort,
One cannot purify
Someone else for them
Blast from the past:
This moment will pass
Like all preceding moments
And all yet to come.
05/14/26 A New Haiku for a New Day
A day of rest where
I can just relax without
Anything to prove
Blast from the past:
Born with black and white.
Yellow and red comes. Fully
Could see with the blues.
05/13/26 A New Haiku for a New Day
A stale life is bad,
But you can turn it around.
Death is permanent.
Blast from the past:
Why would you lessen
An otherwise great life through
Such a boring death?
