Bright childhood joy
means a new toy.
Aged joy deeper,
a toss & keeper.

I don't want to be an evergreen tree always on, always go. I want to be in the flow Sure green…then yellow, orange and brown, Falling leaves upon the ground To sprout bright green all anew, Days of each, just a few.
I have decided.
I am deciduous.

icy fangs dangle death
but I chew meat with molars,
grizzlies may bare their claws,
I'd rather dance with polars

Mud slept, Yertle dug
Through dark, finding bleaker times
Instead of sunshine.

If only.
The fact that these greedy
dictatorial murdering bastards
are still repeating the same shit
every 100 years
merely reinforces my atheism.

A classical Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock–style painting depicting feudal-era rice paddies flowing across rolling hills. Hundreds of Edo-period farmers stand knee-deep in flooded fields, wearing traditional clothing and straw hats. Each figure is quietly absorbed in a modern smartphone, its pale blue glow lighting their faces. The cold, artificial light contrasts starkly with the warm earth tones of the paddies and sky. The scene features delicate hand-inked linework, flat color planes, subtle gradients, and mist-softened mountains in the distance—an understated anachronism merging premodern agricultural labor with contemporary digital fixation.
Attention farming in social media is like rice farming in feudal Japan:
every post is a grain,
both require endless cultivation for sustenance.

Haiku Horror Writing Prompt no. 1613: hollow
#haikuhorrorprompt #notahaiku
the space between us
I share myself with you
until there's nothing left inside.
I'm hollow when you're with me
and I echo when you're not.
we spend our nights together
but live our day apart.

cry me a river!
a desert farewell

the desert
will imbibe your tears

I'll post an actual haiku later...
This poem was already drafted and was asking to be tidied up a bit, and volunteered itself for the subject of the prompt.

Prompt no. 1570: sinister
#haikuhorrorprompt
shade
your shadow cast
exotic
sinister, to the left
it's something quite
narcotic
a vice left unconfessed
