Birthed out of the
Stone that seeks Sisyphus is
Modernity’s madness
Blast from the Past:
The generation
Before the ark, the age of
Insignificance

01/10/25 Haiku for the Day
Knead the yeast of
The fall. Pop the air bubbles
Of our monstrous age.
Blast from the past:
He knew me not and
Named me fire. I know him, and
He has named me flood.
01/09/25 Haiku for the Day
You will never feel
Satisfied until you learn
You have all you need.
Blast from the Past:
They dig deep for it
But it has always been here
In their inner core
01/08/2025 Haiku the Day
True damnation is
The aspects of you that you
Could never resolve.
Blast from the Past:
I approach an abyss
That I am afraid
To learn I’ve been inside all along
This photo is a great encapsulation what I am trying to say in both of my haikus.
01/07/2025 Haiku for the Day
You will never be
Satisfied in life until
You choose to just be
Blast from the Past:
I push up the stone,
Pledging to help Sisyphus,
Freedom in routine
(I really like this photo, since it does a great job reflecting both poems. To me, it’s like the boy just chooses to be and is smiling behind the rocks while helping Sisyphus.)
01/06/2025 Haiku for the Day
Everyday the same
Clank the mailman delivered
New junk to throw out
Blast from the Past:
How to smoothen
The silence of an
Morning annoyance.
01/05/2025 Haiku for the Day
Medieval cities,
Where rich traders gather
Within their walled fort
Blast from the Past:
Discourse and knowledge
Foundation of an ethic
Enchanted moderns
01/04/2024 Haiku for the Day
Flapping his mighty wings,
The caged eagle
Must be lonely
Blast from the Past:
Sitting on the train
Here among a crowd, we are
All in this alone
1/3/25 Haiku for the Day
You can’t rush it or chase it.
But sometimes in New York
Peace will find you.
Blast from the Past
Living within the
City’s hollows confined like
Snails into their shells
1/2/25 Haiku for the Day
I am standing here
In front of the horizon
Of why and why not
Blast from the Past:
“What do you want to do today?”
“I want to drive for hours and hours until our car breaks down over the edge of the sunset.
To escape from this world they have built for us.”
