Category: the year in haiku

When the road is long:
Patience and steady effort,
Tools to win the day.

There will still be faults,
Even when you try your best;
Look to learn, not blame.

All is in motion
In a constant state of flux.
Try to stay grounded.

Not to receive praise,
But to have done the right thing:
This is the true prize.

Exercise is good,
Careful not to overdo;
Respect your limits.

Look closely and see:
Every day is a good day
If the mind allows.

We seek our fortune
While hidden under our feet;
Acres of diamonds.

Cooled by gentle breeze,
Sitting in the fading light.
Leaves whisper ‘Good night’.

No time to lie in
When there are dogs in your life
It’s get up and go!

Do not be put off.
Learn to cope with the curve-balls;
Take them in your stride.

If there be no fear,
Neither can there be courage;
One needs the other.

Unexpectedly,
While you weren’t even looking
Something good appeared

As knowledge accrues
It must be put to good use,
Or what is the point?

Finding your purpose:
Look within to see what counts,
And there it is found.

When the penny drops,
What was hidden is revealed;
All makes sense again.
