Haiku Friday July 18 2025

Early morning snack:

Sushi at 2:45. 

Maybe not so wise.

Max Q

A basket of grapes:

Bountiful fruit of the vine, 

Juicy, luscious, sweet. 

Max Q

It’s following me:

Apocalyptic Tesla. 

White, as expected.

Max Q

A culture ignored

Older than the pyramids

Now rediscovered

Bill

The machine we built

Through blind human ambition 

Harvesting our pain 

Rikosan

Divest from evil

Save money, and harvest joy

Fascist fixtures fall

Yesterday's Out and About - The Inland Classical Theatre Radio Players perform a live, thirty-minute production of The Tempest!

I would say that this went off pretty well. There are some things that we will learn from this going into the future. But, all in all, this turned out great. The play lasted about 25 minutes actually. So because we had extra time, we have a little Q and A at the end too. Here is the link to the whole radio show. https://archive.kyrs.org/mp3/kyrs_250715_160000b.mp3

If you want to just hear the play itself, here is a link to that. https://spokanarama.com/ewExternalFiles/The%20Tempest%20on%20KYRS.mp3

Tomorrow is a REALLY BIG SHOW!

 

Tomorrow on Out and About. The Inland Classical Theatre Radio Players will be in the studio, twelve of them,  jammed into the studio to perform a 30-minute version of The Tempest. Yours truly will be running the sound effects board, the sound board, doing the narration, playing the spots and hosting. Yikes! This is going to be madcap. Perhaps, some hilarious mischance will ensue.

The weeds grow even
Through the artificial turf. 
Where there’s will, there’s way. 

Max Q

I know what I ate
That made me gain all that weight:
Time to moderate. 

Max Q 

Can’t think of a thing
It’s haiku constipation
Need prunes for poems

Bill

Your fingers, stained
Sticky with indecision 
Soil, sweat, reaping hope

Laurel

 
The smells of summer
 Whatever way the wind blows
 Smoke is in the air 

 Rikosan

That deep place of peace
All good rooted in its soil
Onion’s Freedom Dance

Yesterday on Out and About - Jenny Seibert

Yesterday I had my pal, and sister trans peep, Jenny Seibert on to talk about the present political situation. I had read a news article about a trans woman who got involved with the drag community in Texas. I had taken a somewhat negative spin on the article, whereas Jenny had a much more positive outlook on it. Thank you Jenny for helping me see this in a better light!
