🗓️ The Everyday Poem

[The plan is to keep building this poem endlessly (hopefully) by posting short stanzas now and then that builds on the previous.]

Trying everything I can to get back to writing poetry. Using a portable inkless printer seems to be doing the trick.

#poem
wind chimes come alive by thunder ring for me to come sit at the edge of a teasing drizzle. i unglue myself from the screen and fold the laptop i unfurl and fly to the porch and drink the shapeless sea through every pore on my face cracked but whole.

Invisible to-do list items.
A small white paper sticking out of a portable palm-sized printer with the following text: To Do List: - yesterday's dreams

#senryu #haiga
A haiga printed on a small bill/receipt size paper with some barcodes and a QR code. The senryu reads self-checkout ... the mindless hand picking up one more thing

A #haiga

#haiku #monoku
A haiga with minimal artwork. On a slightly orange-tinted background, a few thin horizontal red lines among thin black lines. They depict a rough scene of spring, red flowers among wild grass. The haiku/monoku reads: spring in passing a snail

And enough grief to fill the halls of a million gods with fervent prayers.
if we stay consistent with our symbolism there is enough grief in this world to fly flags at half-mast from east to west until the end of time

anguishing over coming up with fresh material
in a world that offers as inspiration
the same violence
every day, every night

We can only hope to find some semblance of objectivity by showing compassion towards as many perspectives as possible.

A sumi-e like painting in a sketchbook. A bonsai in a planter with vague clouds of leaves and pink flowers. A grey branch streaks across the frame with the word 'Perspective' written above it.

Another grumpy frog.

A sumi-e like painting. A grumpy looking frog sitting before green grass with pink flowers. It is surrounded by water. A red ensō in the background, like a rising sun.

It is already another bloody sunrise, is it?

A sumi-e like artwork. A frog, caricature-like, is sitting in grass with a puzzled, almost-irritated, look. Dragonflies are actively flying about and around it. A red sun in the form of an enso is rising behind the frog.

A glowing dual-tone artwork. It is a night scene with a glowing white enso representing the moon. There is a mound of land amidst a water body, everything lit and glowing in soft moonlight. There are a bunch of grasses on the small mound. A glowing frog is midair, as if jumping onto the moon.

A red sun beyond a rectangle plan pot with long leaves growing as a shrub. A blue flower is sticking out of it. The poem reads: a garden full of Stockholm Syndrome blossoms

Sumi-e style digital artwork showing a bird perched on a branch that is sprouting pink flowers at the tips of the branch's shoots. The bird has a long tail and is looking up and to the right. A large sun covers the top right corner of the painting. The poem reads: smuggling the bird muffling the birdsong

A sumi-e like painting with large brush strokes depicting barren land and on the horizon are a line of trees. A red sun hangs in the sky to the left. The poem reads: deep within us the seeds of deforestation

This #haiku signboard is stood up somewhere in the Golden Triangle area in Washington D.C. Will be up until early May, among a hundred other selected haiku in this year's Golden Triangle haiku contest.
A signboard with the haiku: driftwood tugging at the hem of the river
