3.06: A Grateful Goodbye

Dear Listener,

It is with a heavy heart that I publish this episode. As you can probably guess from the episode title this will be the last episode of The Haiku Pond. I've decided to extend my hiatus indefinitely, but I wanted to leave you with a final episode to say goodbye and thank you. This podcast grew into something much larger than I expected and I'm very grateful for that. As I explained in this final episode my priorities and energies are currently pointed in other directions—which makes producing episodes difficult.

In this final episode, the theme is Gratitude (an old favorite) and features a recent haiku I wrote while traveling last month and, of course, some reflections from me. For show notes visit https://anthonynanfito.com/2023/01/22/a-grateful-goodbye/

All of the previous episodes of The Haiku Pond will remain up on the various platforms so you can listen to them at your leisure. If you’re interested in keeping in touch, you can always find the most up-to-date information on my personal website at anthonynanfito.com.

Sincerely, 

Anthony Nanfito

Things that end too soon - 

a good book, night time downpours, 

life

Christmas presents 

You will never open 

Sitting forlorn 


From @MonsterPoems on Twitter:

Unable to stop my tears 

Life fled from her eyes

I can't forgive you. 

Where were you when we had drowned. 

Nowhere to be found.

through strings of light 

a stolen kiss

A shell of himself. 

He forgets you were his love. 

Memory fading. 


From @readwritehaiku on Twitter: 

warm sunshine 

on white sycamore 

heartache sweat

Aware you will overcome

Thankful for your strength

grains of sand and truth

ingrained in faraway shells;

minuscule splendor

BONUS: A poem dedicated to the Apollo Astronaut Michael Collins

BONUS: A poem dedicated to the Apollo Astronaut Michael Collins

In honor of Astronaut Michael Collins’ passing this week, I’m reposting this poem, Cosmic Duet, and dedicating it to him. I originally posted the poem on July 24, 2019 on my personal instagram account (formerly thehangryfifi, now haikubyfifi). At the time, I was delighted, humbled, and honored that he viewed and liked the video from his account. 


Like all the other astronauts of the world, Michael Collins was inspiration to me. His insights about the fragility of our blue and white marble world seem more important now than ever. Us “land dwellers” interact with the world every day and we become accustomed to the solid land, eventually, equating it to strength. 


Yet, since Michael Collins and his fellow Apollo Astronauts visited the moon in July of 1969, we have learned much more about our planet and just how vulnerable and fragile it truly is. 


May his memory be a reminder and an inspiration that we all need to do our part—big or small—to protect this fragile, blue and white marble that floats in hazardous vacuum of space. 


If you can, try to eat a less meat, use less plastic, drive less and walk more, and be kind to all the inhabitants (big, small, and everything in between) of this planet, because there is no Planet B. 


Miraculously, we were given this planet (and only this planet) and we need to take care of it, just as it has taken care of us. We’re in a duet with it and so far we haven’t been doing a good job of dancing together.



Cosmic Duet by Anthony Nanfito

Dedicated to: Astronaut Michael Collins


The day is over as yet,

For the sun has begun to set.


Now is the time for the stars to shine.

Each photon journeys through space and time,

Traveling great distances to these eyes of mine.


The light fades and the darkness surrounds,

As the view of the universe increasingly abounds.


This eternal movement from this cosmic duet

Creates a masterpiece within the ultraviolet.
