Sumo Haiku – 22nd February 2026

~ shaun tenzenmen

let Hakuho Shō 

come and make my baby cry

good health together

In Japan, letting a sumo wrestler make your baby cry is believed to bring good health. Hakuho Shō is a famous sumo wrestler, winning 45 tournaments.

Today’s Daily Stoic poem:

What’s Better Left Unsaid

Better to consider before one speaks
Is it opinion or knowledge you spout?
Do you suffer a mouth that leaks?
Perhaps it’s better kept in and not out.
