Category: the year in haiku

Take the time to ask,
When the gut feels uncertain:
“How does this serve me?”

Overlook mistakes,
Fight the urge to criticise;
No good comes of it.

Push yourself further
See just what you can achieve
You might be surprised.

Don’t put off that list,
While you wait, it gets bigger.
Get started today.

Time to celebrate;
A successful completion
Should be recognised.

What you think today
Will create your tomorrow;
Choose your thoughts wisely.

The sting of failure,
A surefire agent of change;
Use its power well 

Be ready for growth.
Embrace the unexpected
With an open heart.

Handed down with care
Wisdom from the painted porch
Still holds true today.

When self doubt creeps in,
Know you’ll get there in the end:
Believe in yourself.

Smiles go a long way,
Greet your fellow traveller
Along the shared path.

Sharpen your focus,
Pay attention to detail.
Learn each lesson well.

Make a change for good,
Your time of power is now:
All thoughts can be changed.

Reading to unwind.
Furry noses nudge gently;
“Don’t forget us, Dad…”

Geese drift lazily
As river flows gently by
Honks break the silence
