Falling in between
Unsupported, forgotten
Light shines through the cracks
Blast from the Past:
Even the outcast
Has dignity among the
Daisies in the field

02/26/26 A New Haiku for a New Day
Use your learning to
Get paid more for the same job
As everyone else
Blast from the Past:
Your education
Gives you the skills to realize
How dumb your boss is.
02/25/26 A New Haiku for a New Day
Given a weapon
Told to fulfill his “International Duty”
Tore villages to pieces
To return as pieces in a coffin
For a broken mother
Blast from the Past:
Killing the “bad guy”
As if only destruction
Will curb deviants.
02/23/26 A New Haiku for a New Day
Watching laundry spin
Rolling up, only to fall
An endless cycle(Or at least for 30 minutes, but after that load is done, there always seems to be another load.)
Blast from the Past:
Pleasure comes and goes
Followed by melancholy,
An endless cycle
02/22/26 A New Haiku for a New Day
Hanging upside down
Teaching her baby how to
Do a belly roll
Blast from the Past:
Maybe the fish sing
Symphonies under the water
That we cannot hear
02/21/26 A New Haiku for a New Day
In this strange world,
What hope can we find beyond
What we bring with us?
Blast from the Past:
Hope is like a life
Preserver: though it may bob
It never sinks down
02/20/26 A New Haiku for a New Day
Their gateway to hell
Bland hallway to pastel rooms
Painted by slave’s blood
Blast from the Past:
All that is hidden
Is not always revealed, but
Is always present.
02/19/26 A New Haiku for a New Day
Chill under a tree
Sitting and cracking open
A nice coconut
(The sun bear I saw today had the right idea for how to spend a rainy day here in the Bornean rainforest.)
Blast from the Past:
Retreat from the noise
Of a cluttered world crammed in
A barrel of greed
02/18/26 A New Tanka for a New Day
Ants run about like
The flurry of activities
That amounted to
Not much that the one you loved
Would perform every day
Blast from the Past:
There is nothing
More fascinating than
Another person
02/17/26 A New Haiku for a New Day
A day of rest and
Maybe a nap if only
I could fall asleep
Blast from the Past:
Nothing like a song
With engaging lyrics to
Inspire a haiku.
