Baffling Haiku (Poem #26, NaPoWriMo 2024)
By Daniel Paiz
As these last few days of NaPoWriMo winds down, it’s another chance to ponder life and the world surrounding us. There are some fun and entertaining things happening, and there are some truly dreadful things happening. It’s understandable if one looks away from the bad due to how it seemingly overwhelms the good, day after day.
However, it is important to recognize that bad stuff…

Mile High Playoffs Rd 1: Gordon & Porter Jr. take over as Nuggets win Game 3 112-105
By Daniel Paiz
Somebody forgot to tell the Denver Nuggets they were supposed to lose Game 3 in Los Angeles, as the Nuggets beat the Lakers 112-15 to take a 3-0 series lead. Four Nuggets starters had 20 or more points: Aaron Gordon had 29 points and 15 rebounds, Nikola Jokic had 24 points, 15 rebounds and nine assists, Jamal Murray had 22 points and nine assists, and Michael Porter Jr. finished…

Buzz & Observe (Poem 25, NaPoWriMo 2024)
By Daniel Paiz
The final week of NaPoWriMo is ticking away and again it has gone quickly and slowly at the exact same time. Haikus, rhymes, poetry and more have been dropped, and there’s a few more headed your way. This one likely is similar to other April 25th ones, comment below if you recognize the pattern.

A quiet humming sound
surrounds you from time to time,

Drained (Poem #24, NaPoWriMo 2024)
By Daniel Paiz
Sometimes you just need to chill out, relax, take a break, because you are drained. Too often these days there’s an obsession with being busy, with being “productive”. If you’re tired, you aren’t always going to create something that turns out how you wanted to. This NaPoWriMo entry is going to dig into this just a little bit.

Book It (Poem #23, NaPoWriMo 2024)
By Daniel Paiz
World Book Day is April 23rd and was named so by UNESCO in the 1990s. Books are pretty important, as there’s different perspectives to consider, different life experiences, and lessons from cover to cover. It does seem that reading isn’t done as much anymore. That has to change, because it might help to change the current state of this blue marble if more people gained new…

Mile High Playoffs Rd 1: Jamal Murray hits the Game-Winning shot to give Denver a 2-0 lead
By Daniel Paiz
Jamal Murray hits the game-winning shot to give Denver a 2-0 lead, as the Denver Nuggets win 101-99 over the Los Angeles Lakers. Nikola Jokic had his 17th playoff triple-double with 27 points, 20 rebounds and 10 assists; it’s the fourth time someone has had a triple-double with 20-20-10 in league history. Jamal Murray notched 20 points and five assists while Michael Porter Jr had…

Earth Day (Poem #22, NaPoWriMo 2024)
By Daniel Paiz
Earth Day is here and celebrated globally on this blue marble of ours, and is the focus of this NaPoWriMo post. This day is meant to bring awareness to the current state of Earth to people, especially those who are making the biggest impact (which is routinely not a good one). There’s all kinds of technology to capture images from space, as well as recording weather and natural…

Hurdles Haiku (Poem #21, NaPoWriMo 2024)
By Daniel Paiz
Words are not always forthcoming on some days, which is a great reason to write Hurdles Haiku for the NaPoWriMo entry. There isn’t a lot to say, but there is something to ponder on days like this. Enjoy.
Hurdles Haiku
Work through the hurdle,
Effort will keep you going,
One step at a time.

Mile High Playoffs Rd 1: Nuggets close out Game 1 over Lakers 114-103
By Daniel Paiz
The Denver Nuggets close out Game 1 after a slow start, beating the Los Angeles Lakers 114-103 at Ball Arena. The Lakers set the pace early and this game largely followed a slower, half-court setup for much of the first half. Anthony Davis had 32 points and 14 rebounds, and LeBron James notched 27 points and eight assists. The defending NBA Champions were led by Nikola Jokic’s 32…

Pearls draped around Columbines (Poem #20, NaPoWriMo 2024)
By Daniel Paiz
April 20th is a date that means a lot of things across the United States. For some it’s a reference to smoking and partaking in marijuana-related activities. For others it’s a more somber day due to the events of the Columbine school shooting 25 years ago today. For Cypher Sessions, it’s our anniversary date as well, often celebrated with some NaPoWriMo.
Twelve years ago, this…

We Don't Trust Your Drama (Poem #19, NaPoWriMo 2024)
By Daniel Paiz
Poetry and Hip-Hop are very close family members in the world of lyrics. Sometimes there are rhymes that are so fluid they can get an artist nominated for literary awards. There are some bars out there that paint pictures better than some with brushes and canvasses. The two worlds don’t often cross, but that can be changed with stuff like NaPoWriMo. Gatekeeping is no longer…

History Lessons (Poem #18, NaPoWriMo 2024)
By Daniel Paiz
There are history lessons surrounding us in every kind of interest you and I have and often we don’t pay attention to it. Sometimes it’s the tunes floating about our ears as one absentmindedly works their way through a day. Other times it’s something a bit more intentional, often tied to a holiday or time of year.
If you haven’t noticed yet, this writer during NaPoWriMo (and…

Feathery Daggers (Poem #17, NaPoWriMo 2024)
By Daniel Paiz
Feathery Daggers is another installment of nature-related stuff that this writer has found interesting. NaPoWriMo is a time for reflection and pause, but it’s also a great time to learn something new, something you might’ve had no intention of learning about initially. Nature routinely has lessons for our far removed from outside selves to learn, as well as warnings for those of…

A Moment Haiku (Poem #16, NaPoWriMo 2024)
By Daniel Paiz
Life ebbs and flows, and there are times when a moment slows things down. A Moment haiku is a reflection of this brief countless seconds ticking away. Reflection has been a strong motif throughout this year and previous year’s entries. NaPoWriMo might just be a moment to reflect and reset in this zany and unpredictable thing called life.

A breeze talks softly,

Sky or Robin? (Poem #15, NaPoWriMo 2024)
By Daniel Paiz
Halfway through the month and somehow it feels right and wrong. That is to say, some days drag along while others fly by. Sometimes the most important thing to do is sit in a moment and observe your surroundings. Such as which shade of blue might be the color one observes most on a clear day.
Often, we catch ourselves trapped in our minds in regard to the future or the past.…

History to Repeat (Poem #14, NaPoWriMo 2024)
By Daniel Paiz
History to Repeat is inevitable in some form or fashion. It doesn’t get replicated exactly most times, but it does keep happening. Especially when one doesn’t learn from the previous occurrence. Sometimes, however, that repeating pattern is good, and things bounce your way. Poetry, basketball, and more can have this mindset applied to it.

Healing You (Poem #13, NaPoWriMo 2024)
By Daniel Paiz
Nearing the halfway mark with the thirteenth entry for NaPoWriMo 2024, Healing You is a fun yet reflective way to utilize poetry. There are fewer pop culture references than originally intended. However, this one is born out of creative flow. There’s a not a lot more to say here mainly because this one felt really good writing. Hopefully it feels really good reading or repeating…
