Always A Stranger
Today's Daily Haiku discusses the process of trying to fit in we all go through during our childhood, and poses a question about what's the desirable outcome: to fit in, or to end up being yourself? Are both things compatible?
Ignacio Nieto Carvajal
Dad
Today's Daily Haiku is devoted to my father, Pencho.
The End Of The Iron Curtain
Today's Daily Haiku is inspired by one of my few childhood memories, the fall of Berlin's Wall.
Mother
Corny as it may seems, it wouldn't be fair to spend February writing haikus inspired by my childhood without devoting one to my mother.
More TVs Than Rooms
Today's Daily Haiku is inspired by a visit to my father's mother when I was a kid. Her death later in my life had also a big influence in me.
Flashlight in hand
Today's Daily Haiku is inspired by one of my earliest memories, reading horror stories with a flashlight in hand under the bed sheets at night.
Always in motion
All of us walk different paths during our childhood, and the one we go through has an undeniable influence on the person we become when we grow older, but they don't define us completely or forever.
