Advice (Haiku)

 

The only advice you need

Use your imagination

God gives it to you

Wassup? (Haiku)

 

Not what you have done

Not what you're planning to do 

It's what you're doing

The Unseen (Haiku)

 

If you can't see it

It does not mean it's not there

On land and on sea.


Buried in the ground

Forgotten from time gone by

Sunk in the deep sea.


It is there.



All those ships that sank in the ocean, are sitting there.  We don't see them, don't think about them, but they are there just the same.  The same is true of our actions.  They happened, some we'd like to forget but they are there just the same.

Type Reversion (Haiku)

 

Whenever there's a situation wherein the course of events is not as we anticipated, we revert back to behaviors and expressions that have either been impressed upon us or that we have adopted with some success.  These are not always the most productive.  This Haiku suggests that if this is recognized and behavior is managed, more productive results will ensue.


We revert to type

In aggravated moments.

Can that be altered?


Is it decision?

Or totally reflexive?

Hope for the former.


If it's decision

It can in fact be altered

Become what you want.

Do or Die (Haiku)


Philosophy often shapes human lives despite its inability to be proven or measured. Ideas born from emotion or belief can guide nations, divide communities, or define identity. This haiku sequence reflects on the strange power of subjective thought — and the human vulnerability that allows opinion to become truth.

Ah, philosophy
Entirely subjective
Cannot be disproved

It can be agreed
It is not scientific
Accepted or not

Yet life and death
Have hinged on philosophy
Merely opinion

A human mind flaw
Emotional acceptance
Agree or your out

Love is Blind (Haiku)

A scene that we often see, one would think that animals are not judgmental.  Often a touching sight to see.

A homeless person

With a  dog walking beside.

Can we love like that?

Flops? (Haiku)

 

Not a comedy

Our life as we're living it

Not a tragedy


Often, while it is happening, our lives seem less exciting than stage and screen.  Then, in retrospect, it comes into focus.
