They bring me such joy
A haiku’s simplicity
This delicate rose
Category: Daily Haiku
I adore the simplicity, as well as the challenge of Haiku. The constraints focus my mind, seeking out the essence of the moment, feeling, notion, distilling it to brilliant singularity.
My goal: to post at least one haiku a day.
Tonight’s haiku is about learning from your mistakes
Learn from your mistakes
Stand up, smarter and wiser
Springtime approaches
The powerful thing one can do when facing mistakes is to taste a moment and absorb the learning. Let that mine in to your core, change you, make you wiser. That’s the kernel of humility.
Feed your soul joy
Just pursue your dreams
Seek out joy to feed your soul
Fight hard for your heart
May your week be filled with blessings.
Aspirations of Positivity
I think I’ll give up
Cynicism this next Lent
Or maybe sooner
A haiku about seasons, change and a tad bit about love
This flower’s beauty
Transformative and quite brief
New life comes through change
This world burns with negative energy. Fear, distrust and rage so very of this world. I seek yo mollify that. I wonder if, perhaps, through poems and a bit of compassion, maybe I can help humanity grow its connection to itself. I see that as out species’ path to survival.
May each of you always find beauty and joy in life.
An Evening Walk
I got in a few evening walks this week. My mind fills with thoughts and inspiration. They’re deeply valuable to me.
My body’s motion
As I move into twilight
Sky’s colors delight
Growth Requires Focus
Greatness comes from work
Passion needs to be nurtured
Always seek to grow
Tonight’s Haiku: Rain Gently Falls
This good day now ends
Accomplishing many things
Rain’s gently falling
Tonight’s Haiku: The Value We Bring
Upon work’s altar
Our lives are a sacrifice
A worthy exchange?
I’ve been thinking about work and our relationship to it.
I Delight In White Noise
White noise’s beauty
Hiding the fearful silence
This mountain of sand
Sometimes I find it hard to sleep in deep silence. Perhaps it’s the urbanite within me. I find comfort in sound. But would I find peace within the raucousness of the jungle?
