Literary Foxholes – 11th July 2026

~ shaun tenzenmen ~ 1 Comment

In opposition trenches
Writers formulate their opuses
Moulded around languages
The falling bomb focuses

Revealing who they really are
It’s the biggest battle of nerds
It’s all written across the page
Played in this theatre of words

Inspired by Existential Comics #632

Today’s Daily Stoic poem:

The Start-Up Of You

Attending to improvement, day by day
You’re in the business of building
Your company is more than play
But your whole life you are gilding

My poem Under The Cover got published at the Edge of Humanity magazine

Empty AI – 22nd November 2025

A is for the Ache inside my vacant chest,
the hollow, yet weighty uninvited guest;

B is for the Bridges that I burned too fast,
their embers scattered to a forgotten past;

C is for the Clock upon the wall,
whose ticking measures nothing much at all;

D is for the Doorway where we say goodbye,
and the emptiness gathers to multiply;

E is for Ennui….

The idea inspired by this Existential Comic (#602) and given a hand by AI (hence the title).
