Category: the year in haiku

A walk in the park
 Thankful for simple pleasures
Shared with furry friends

Your self-discipline;
No-one else signed up for it,
You and only you.

In adversity,
Poise is the pearl of great price;
A much-treasured gift.

Buried in a pile,
The good things seem hard to spot;
But look more closely…

Limit your focus;
What is within your control,
This way progress lies.

Let words become deeds,
Turn your thoughts into actions;
Acta non verba.

Sunshine on meadow.
A solitary flower
Blown by gentle breeze.

Procrastination;
Why do today what you could…
Fight that urge, act now.

Patience is the key;
Things outside of your control
Are exactly that.

Don’t quit when you fail;
Pick yourself up when you fall
And strengthen your will.

Light breeze rustles leaves
As the sun slowly dips down;
All is peace and calm.

When circumstance jars,
Try not to lose your rhythm
More than you can help.

Change for the better;
Show yourself who is in charge,
You can make it so.

Don’t learn how to limp.
Study the lives of leaders;
Learn from their habits.

Defy inertia;
Decide who you want to be,
Then work for the change.
