Cards Fans-Cats Fans (Haiku)

Cards fan win or lose
Cheering on our beloved
Respect the other

Cats fan they must win
Love the Cats hate the other
Don't win burn the couch

Basic difference
The one based on affection
The other far less

One for the contest
The other for self-image
Fans inferior

Hindsight, A Curse (Haiku)

Wishing to go back
Seeing the long term effects
To change what was done

One knows exactly 
What one would do differently
In treating each child

One can be involved
Without causing permanent
Patterned responses

Hindsight in advance
A gift for the very few
A curse for others 

Just Say No (Haiku)

An approach to life

Saying,”No,” and meaning it

Creates time for Aim

In our heart of hearts

To be, to do, to have, hold

Is what we desire

Knowing what we want

Allows decisions to act

To realize Aim

Stepping back to ask

What am I doing and why?

Leads to decisions

Short of stubbornness

But making decisions stick

Allows Aim to win

Pleasing of others

Is not an aim, an excuse

Takes the easy way

Realize the rest

Is others’ demands on us

To satisfy theirs

A time has to come

When one must ask the question

Answering with heart
