Non sequitur haikus

[MROO]

Christmas time is fraught
With sad memories for me.
They fade, but linger.

Replacing them with
Better times and memeories:
A life long project.

I try not to be
A wet blanket for others,
And let their joy shine.

In halls decked with tears,
we miss those gone on ahead,
their places empty.

Still, we celebrate
those who remain gathered 'round
the tree and table.

Hold fast to them all,
for a New Year awaits us.
Walk it, together.

^^That is beautiful. Thank you.

In awe of you all.
So much eloquence in verse.
My first try not great.

We all learn to crawl
Eventually, to walk
Then, some *run* … we, chat

Compare not yourself
practicing since ‘98
enjoy the chickens

Recall, fridge magnets?
think of here as 1 of them;
post here when you can

Struggle in this life
feels like we are standing still
Big picture We’re blurred

We may not see “growth”
Trudging in the weeds each day
Time shows evolving

This chapters ending
You’re *editing* it right now…
Like Glaciers calving

This is for a friend of mine who seems to enjoy being miserable with worry.

You worry too much.
You need to learn to let go
Of all that damn s**t.

If God has a plan
And your worry is a Sin,
You should work on that.

No, you're not perfect.
But why hang on so tightly?
"Let go and let God."

If it is "God's Plan"
For you to be mis'rable...
No, I don't buy that.

Upon the #knowledge we’ve gained

Dannnnnnggggggg… planting them seeds;
That’s a beautiful lesson,
Time will tell what sprouts…

 

[electrycmonk]

It’s below freezing
wet nose gets my attention
time to let them out…

distraction starts day
unknown what this future holds
from another night

Anticlimactic
tears from a painful yr
Washed my eyes last nite

Happy New Year, All.
Looking forward to better
Hope all will improve.

My resolution:
I have decided to be
Happier this year.

And a second one:
I will work hard on being
Healthier this year.
