Thanks Michael
everyone will get to autograph a bomb
then i see it
between low and high tide
a sea anemone
suddenly
the breeze and the blackbird
turning over leaves

you poems moved me to those short lines ~ thank you

This poem reflects on the basic things every child deserves—safety, education, and a normal day at school—and how the world fails when those simple protections disappear. What the World Owes Children A roof. A desk. A teacher who says good morning. A day that arrives without fear. Anything less than that is a failure we should never accept.
This poem is a personal reflection on how heavy the world can feel when you see suffering in the news, and the effort it takes to remember that kindness still exists. A Thought I Had Today Some days the world feels heavier than it should. You read the news, close the screen, and sit there a moment trying to remember that people are still capable of kindness even when history forgets how.
This poem focuses on the quiet ways people help one another, reminding us that even when the world feels broken, ordinary people often step in to care for each other. We’ll Be Okay I’ve seen people pull strangers from rivers. I’ve seen neighbors show up with food when the lights went out. The world breaks things, that much is true— but people have always been very good at putting each other back together.
This poem looks toward the future and reminds us that the world ultimately belongs to the next generation, encouraging hope that they will build something kinder than what came before. What Comes Next The future has always belonged to the children. Not the generals. Not the speeches. Not the maps. One day they will inherit all of this. Let’s hope they build something kinder.
Children in schools should never be an acceptable cost of war.
Resist.
Thinking of the students and teachers at the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ primary school.
Resist.
These poems are for them. 💙💙💙

never ‘tell you off’ haiku / renga is a collaboration / there is no right way ~ like swimming styles ~ it’s staying afloat that matters ~ meet you out in the bay and we’ll float under the moon
Yay thank you 👍
