Approximation of a Man, Paul Stewart, 2026

Find yourself, they say

Realise you're the problem

Then life complicates

Thanks for reading!

This is inspired by Alyson Smith's challenge of writing a haiku a day for 50 days inspired by songs and lyrics that are special to her.

So this is my fifth entry, inspired by Corpse Pose by Unwound. Rough sketch is by myself and slightly inspired by the work of Austrian artist Egon Schiele.

Tina D. Lopez and Harper Lewis have also been doing this challenge.

Make sure you check out their poems at their profiles.
