Thank you! Much like the subject matter, time to break the mould and try new stuff!

In the twilight's amber glow,

Rising sun whispers,

Emerging hopes, cautious steps—

Growth on shifting sands.

Gold shines brighter than bonds

Nature's wealth prevails

Bitcoin's dance, a gambler's dream,

Swaying with each sip.

A haiku incorporating the plague of our generation (endless central bank stimulus), the anthem of a new generation of meme and crypto investors (HODL), and the increasingly isolated market bear.

A bear on a floe

Struggling in liquidity

"HODLing" for dear life
