gather the children Animal Farm is fun now! terror, a cage match #haiku #tyranny #orwell #animalfarm

grinding sounds the pavement under my shoes broken crack pipe #haiku

smells explode, sour hard exterior slips on goo cutting rotten onion #haiku

My body is sick from the drink last night, but my brain is sick from the perception of everything. #Buddhism

help me take out my eyes so that I can see #haiku

shhh, everything outside sounds of the boat still floating #haiku

Virtue and vice are two ends of a spectrum of methods of means that may be deployed in an attempt to bring about an outcome where one’s ends may be met. Neither virtue nor vice can stand on its own as a good without the context of a particular end. #Philosophy #Ethics #HumanNature #Buddhism

sometimes, I wonder if poets have the best sex, or if it is just good research then I read your words, and understand that we are just making words lurch #poetry

smelling the golden stream the cramp below your tummy hearing the leaves move #haiku #poetry

rolling heat boils back skin burning from base to base easing the constant itch #haiku #poetry #cholinergicUrticaria

a laser flashing across formations of reflective Petri dishes Darwin misses the cull #haikuhorrorprompt #haiku #poetry

warm, full belly light swimming intoxication fat Buddha smiles #haiku #poetry

licking parched and cracked lips shake a bitcoin into the validation vending machine #haiku #poetry

from top to bottom black lines fill a white screen search, a gold star from AI #haiku #poetry

humid embrace, after smiles, laughing, hot connection I search for the score #haiku #poetry

sweat rolls down my cheeks top of the hill, a shaded bench wet paint #poetry #haiku

I ask my telos I am a useful idiot my, purpose #haikuchallenge #haiku #prompt

wrinkled fingers tap accounts give a hollow thunk jail is my retirement home #haikufeels #hakiu #prompt #USA #economy

my leg wet a dog pissing, and shaking the owner's hand #haiku #poetry

Mothers other room / she visits in her nightmares / we have no upstairs #poetry #liminal #dementia #senryu #mom

A sack of stones / flopping toward the floor / stuck in mud / sloshing in the moor / one final reach / one dirty grab / one failing breach / in one last jab #poetry #fight

Feral smelling salts / the crack of a braking chain / dry, hot, air blasts us #poetry #haiku #senryu

Sweet melodies float / I, Odysseus tied down / a full falling cup #poetry #senryu ?

toe taps, clock ticks / shiny waxed floors, gleaming / magazines unchanged #poetry #senryu

The sour spice / drippings roll down chins / colonial colors #poetry #senryu

Lost in the black / I stare at the ceiling / voices calling out #poetry #senryu

an uneven beat / shining through the window drops / Red Glowing store sign #haiga #haiku #senryu #shahai

Two #Haiku only three words changed, for big differences. Fields of white harden / wind whipping across the drive / a step outside, crunch ——- Fields of white harden / wind whipping the weary slave / a step outside, crunch Do you like one more than the other?

Emotionally weak / ICE, challenged by decency / bots pity power #senryu #poetry #emoetry #prompt 2/9 #challenged

Thinking about trying #Scrum, not ready to hire full-time or stand up a full process? I’m running a Scrum #pilot for small remote teams who want empirical evidence before committing. Real data. Real reflection. Reduced Cost If you’re curious, reach out it’s open through March 2026.

Most Americans, share the same proximate desires. stability, opportunity, safety, belonging, dignity. The so-called “culture war” and “polarization” becomes a substitution, a theater that conceals the real conflict: between concentrated power and civic impotence. #socialcontract #USA #warning

Checks and balances may seem slow or outdated, but without due legal process, citizens cannot safely entrust power to the republic. #socialcontract #USA #warning

Restore the dignity of conversation and #dissent. Apathy and #authoritarianism are fertilizing the soil, tilling and harrowing, and planting the seeds for #violence. if a leader in a republic degrades opposition’s peaceful maneuvers to be heard, the #socialcontract will not stand. #USA #warning
