Currently concerned

about a long-distance friend

who I can't check on


I'm just one of those people still on the path of getting themselves out there in the world. If you're confused by my mug below you haven't read my profile. I point you to it.

Intimidating!

Anatomical

Hearts are surprisingly bad

Gifts for Valentine's.


They also don't hold

As much candy as heart-shaped

Boxes. Go figure.

What is a human?

In the hearts of humankind,

Humanity dies.

Sometimes I feel like

I'm trying to catch time with

A butterfly net.

Okay, I thought maybe we can try some renga here. My 2 lines will be


And the cold wind brings nothing

But the snowflakes in my face.


Renga is made by multiple people. First one makes 3 lines, next one - 2 lines, then next one 3 lines again. Each 5 lines are supposed to complete themselves into one poem (tanka). This way renga is a chain of tanka where each part has a standalone, complete ideas and also forms a bridge to the part before it and the one after it. I wonder if anyone is interested in this kind of game. So, if you feel like into it, you are supposed to make next 3 lines that resonates with my 2. I will wright everything from the beginning to make it easier

A stark reminder

Of paths not taken; a life

That will never be.

I pace, all alone,

Wondering if I will find

That feeling again.

Unrelated to the long poem that’s going on:


I hear your voice, clear!

Your dystopian fiction

Is my reflection.

I know a guy who

I hope he’s okay


Important update:

Once he started, quickly stopped.

The wind is stirring

Emotions inside of me

And I need to piss

Response to A Haiku a Day 2024-02-27 22:38:48


There's a time to sow,

And a time to reap, but I

Just don't have the time.


When running ragged

Every single day, a nap

Would be so sublime.

It's raining tonight

And I might listen to some

Knytt Stories music

Lost luminary,

Akira Toriyama,

May you rest in peace.

Airpods are charging

Then what will I listen to?

What calls the loudest?

I like weird people

Weirdness is like innocence

Once it's gone, it's gone

Fuck this stupid place.

I wish I can escape now.

To far away now.

Jimmy Neutron's Ms. Fowl

was singing Bad Boys
