What Lately? (Haiku)


Our accomplishments
Are but an indication
Of what we can do

Solve the math problem
Move on to newer problems
Dwell not on this one

Deeds are history
The future is yet to come
Dwell not on the past

Capability
With your imagination
Brings satisfaction

Never satisfied
Solving the puzzle of life
One thing at a time

At the end of it
It's as if you weren't here
But you were and are

It's the grandchildren
Who continue our actions
From vague memories

A parallel life
From the past to the present
Liking it or not

Mysterious life
Brings from imagination
What we realize

Imagination
Mind linked to Bethesda's pool
Source of ideas

So go out and do
Whatever is on your mind
Doing it, do more

Walk Then Run to Get It (Haiku)


Wobbly, unsteady
Taking little baby steps
Walking then running

As a full adult
Taking little baby steps
Will never reach Aim

But even these steps
In the proper direction
Will allow progress

Take the baby steps
With an eye on the big prize
Ready for running

Sooner or later
One must be in the running
Or never get there

Personal assets
Physical and financial
Adding connections

Only if you know
Deep inside your heart of hearts
What you want to have

This we call the dream
Always there, in the background
Guiding every step

My Home Town (Haiku)


Look not at Paris
Not even New York City
Pictures won't do it.

Live in your city
Experience where you are
Life, not fantasy.
