The Editorial – 8th January 2026

you always knew I held the knife to you
only a matter of time
before I bled our hearts

~ but I’m editing my biography in real time ~

when the gardenia’s perfume reached my nose
a vague memory stirred within
and I let out a sigh

A kimo puente for Tanka Tuesday – new beginnings


Today’s Daily Stoic poem:

Seeing Our Addictions

Compulsions become addictions
Chipping away at the soul
Clouding over clarity
Can you exercise self-control?
