Category: the year in haiku

You must have patience
Self-belief in testing times
Will always pay off

Keep your spirits up
When understanding fails you;
It will come in time.

Too much to fit in;
The day is only so long.
Focus where it counts

One small change each day;
Old habits can be broken
Where there is a will

Don’t see a problem
But a chance to overcome
Use what you have learnt

Take care of loved ones
Do whatever is needed
Nothing is too much

Finishing touches
Dot the ‘I’s and cross the ‘T’s 
The details matter

Willingness to learn
The key to understanding
Keep an open mind

Signs can be misread
Words not always as they seem
Don’t expect too much

Autumn strips the trees,
Leaves never falling upwards;
Nature’s laws obeyed

New beginnings hide
In the most painful endings;
The old, cleared away.

Plan for the future
Keep mindful of the present
Learning from the past

Don’t take it to heart;
Sometimes you will be let down,
Remain positive.

With dedication
Fulfil all obligations
Only then relax

Don’t just hear, listen
Be patient and understand
Measured in response
