03/10/26 A New Haiku for a New Day

Gliding in the water
Each stroke a synchronicity
Within my body

Blast from the Past:

What I’m looking for:
Contentment. To be happy
Just being alive.

Life is what happens
When you stop waiting for life
To happen to you

Blast from the Past:

The antithesis
Of life’s not death, but being
On autopilot.

They sell the water
That does not quench. Buy and
Drink forevermore.

Blast from the Past:

They know when you’ve been sleeping.
They know whether you’re awake.
They know when you’ve been bad or good.
So buy for profit’s sake.

My favorite genre
Of haikus are those that join
Meaning with whimsy

Blast from the Past:

I tried including
So much into this haiku,
It had no meaning.

Fly me to the moon.
Hand my hand and don’t let go.
Life will find a way.

Blast from the Past:

I close both my eyes
Because you can pierce through them
Right into my soul

A cute lil puppy
Climbing, jumping, and eating
In a pile of trash

Blast from the Past:

What is our vast wealth,
Our millions upon millions?
Piles of rotting figs

Sitting in the rain
Contemplating the meaning
Of nothing at all

Blast from the Past:

This world we have built
Here for ourselves is nothing
More than dust and yet…

Sleep sleep sleep
For some reason all my body seems to crave is
Sleep sleep sleep

Blast from the Past:

Why do the best laid
Daily plans go awry from
Little distractions

Oh to the quagmire
That is ethics when your world
Is built on empire

Blast from the Past:

Some are shrewd. Some rash.
All live and die in their place
For Heaven’s Mandate

Up up endless stairs
Under the merciless sun
Skin slippery from sweat

Blast from the Past:

On a boat tethered
With the full moon as the
Shadows dive on down
