Category: the year in haiku

New lessons received
Maintain the good intentions
Let new habits form

Like the bonfire’s flames
Rising up to the heavens
So our thoughts ascend

Silver dancing moon
At the edge of the portal
Show us the way through

A life of lessons
Be thankful for your teachers
Past, present, future

Set new intentions
Like the breath of a dragon
All golden and bright

Summon the dragon
Celestial guardian
To watch over us

Eternal gateway
Through which we dare not enter…
Until it draws us

Build resilience
A broad base of opinion
Cover the angles

Amidst all the jobs
You need some time for yourself
Don’t lose sight of that

Know when to down tools
Fight the urge to continue
You need time for you

Always one more test
The need for growth, unending
Stamina runs low

On firm foundations
Lasting structures can be built
Watch them rise with pride

When spirits sag low
A smile can’t always raise them
More an act of will

Constantly adapt
Innovate and re-invent
Always bring your best

Keep plugging away
Chiselling down the backlog
One chip at a time
