Category: the year in haiku

Inspiration flags 
Like a dried up riverbed
Then comes the deluge

Rewards for patience
The unexpected pleasures 
And sweeter for it

Just like a jigsaw
The pieces slot into place
One by one by one

To fail to prepare
Is to prepare for failure
Don’t let that happen

Procrastination
It’s amazing what gets done
Freed from its shackles

Deafening silence
The sound of one hand clapping:
Don’t seek approval

Don’t be overwhelmed
The forecasted heavy storms
May not be so bad

Too good to be true
Beware empty promises
Sellers of snake oil

Watch events unfold
Don’t try to second guess things
Act with calm judgement

Chosen by Plato:
Temperance, wisdom, courage
And from these, justice

Don’t procrastinate
Just grab the bull by the horns
Get it done already

Take yourself outside
Feel the warmth of the sunshine
Let it recharge you

Groundwork has been laid
Long months of preparation
Now comes the reward

Always cause to smile
See in each disappointment
That you made it through

Intricate details
Mindfully attended to
With care and patience
