What exactly is a #Haiku? 🤔

In just three short lines (5-7-5), a Haiku must capture a complete scene, an emotion and a connection to the natural world.

Poetry doesn't need to be long to be impactful. 🌸

@MrKnowItAll Hello, good sir. I found this today and not sure if you or others knew it - if you google Lanterns DCU (and I'm sure some other combinations) a green bird construct pops up and flies around the screen. If you click on it - you get taken to a trailer. 💚

@Mochi_Gorl That top is dope!! I have basically the same but in a Cardi version

@OnimushaGame Imagery of samurai meeting up at dawn to battle mixed with Japanese art styles ran vividly through my mind and hopefully that translated to the page and spoken word.

I usually don't do these sorts of shorts but if you'd like more give it a heart and let me know 🤍

Daily Poem - 21/09/2026 (Herons at Dawn)

Today I did something a little different and wrote my @OnimushaGame inspired poem as a spoken word with my walk at dawn.

@Pirat_Nation Kojima just cleared the air. These companies reporting this is pretty shit.

Misinformation spreads quickly in this day, which is why sharing your truths is important.

[KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS (Eng) @KojiPro2015_EN]

You may have seen a recent article that mentions KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS, speculating on the reasons for the change in publishing partners for PHYSINT.

Normally, we would not comment on unsubstantiated speculation on the internet, but these aspersions around our relationship with PlayStation, the commercial performance of the DEATH STRANDING franchise, and the broader production planning and investment for PHYSINT, have reached beyond the studio and have touched our fans, our creative partners, and colleagues we have worked alongside with for three decades.

None of the claims written came from any official or on-the-record source and as such we encourage you to take them with a dose of scepticism.

Make no mistake, this was a serious situation for the studio with a range of potentially significant implications. While we recognise that the article may have caused alarm, we want to reassure you all, for the record: that the studio is in a healthy, profitable state, development for PHYSINT continues to move forward with XBOX, and our relationship with PlayStation remains strong.

Thank you for your continued support,
KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS

Daily Poem - 20/09/2026

People write odes to sunsets, oranges, and love. I’m Aussie, so naturally, here’s my Ode to Rum. 🥃🇦🇺

Always open to sponsorship or a DM @bundabergrum - I’ve even got the Bundy Bear in dog form. 😉🐻

I've spoken about Petrarchan sonnets, but did you know there is also a type called the Spenserian? I recently wrote a poem that adapts both forms.

I put together a new visual guide below. Swipe through the images to see how it works! 👇

@Crypto928100 @McDonalds @Warcraft I wish I could. The app only lets you get one per person and I got mine for myself. Best bet would be reach out to some Aussies or someone on Reddit who isn't into it and could help. So sorry!

[The Coastal Writer @nathan_h7x]

For all my fellow Aussies @McDonalds is offering WoW Forever beta codes for 1000 points in their app 😂 @Warcraft

[The Coastal Writer @nathan_h7x]

Whatever happened to @PlayStation making good shooters that were unique and fun to play? PS3 had me hooked but PS5 has been great 3rd person single player experiences mixed with Hermen's need to push live service games that fumble. @Guerrilla_Games killzone would be perfect rn 🫡

[The Coastal Writer @nathan_h7x]

@devsanddorks @Jaybee_beats @IndieGameJoe Within a few comments I observed, you seem intensely hostile and your tone is just shit. Even if you have any valid argument why not make it like an adult and show facts with a level head?

[The Coastal Writer @nathan_h7x]

@DylanMi17119847 @kangminlee It's not made up. It's called lost in translation. He probably meant supposed or something. Don't crash out either 😂

[The Coastal Writer @nathan_h7x]

@RamoniAdisa @BoltTheWord Omg haha I'm glad someone appreciates the reference 😂

Exploring modern anxiety through the lens of early 20th-century poetry. Here’s the story behind the style and poem👇

Sometimes a feeling is too heavy to explain, so you have to paint it with words 💜

[The Coastal Writer @nathan_h7x]

@Mochi_Gorl 😂😅 Me, but I wanna be one everyday. Not just for the aura but so I know wtf is going on in the story. I need KH4 NOW!

@DylanMi17119847 @kangminlee When someone speaks more than one language just give them a pass unless you are multilingual. He is also Korean btw. You can tell if you used a brain or Google translate yourself smh.

[The Coastal Writer @nathan_h7x]

@kangminlee Don't forget they also want to paint the lion like David Bowie 😅

Daily Haiku - 19/09/2026

Winter

Sunset's dying glow
Darkness creeps, my final rest
My journey here ends

Going to do some some daily micro poems instead of Haiku and more posts about different forms too.
