To fight destruction, create.

Small simple creations are an easy way to connect with others and to stand against the darkness which we see unfolding across America. Haikus are simple to create but these little poems can move hearts and mountains. Since 2015, on every Friday, I have had the honor of reading haikus sent in from around the world. Five syllables, then seven syllables and, finally, five syllables - that's a haiku.

Please join us and send in your haikus. You can find the latest archives here. Thanks! Maeve

Haiku Friday April 17, 2026

Watching old men walk:

Legs fragile and steps halting,

One fall from rehab.

Max Q

this mountain top view

separating these two worlds

and yet where they meet

Bill

A chimp's in office

flinging sh*t around the world.

We can only duck.

April

I hate Pete Hegseth

Disgusting god-botherer

knows nothing of god

April

Cowards at the top

An Empire of the Senseless

A trap for new fools

Rikosan

Nick the Beet beats feet

Running from snow seeking heat

Slow words in the sleet
