The Game (Haiku)

Sitting here, eyes closed
Needs currently satisfied
Ready for what's next

A pawn in the game
Moved by those in other worlds
The spiritual

Oh, I have my needs
Reminded by appetities
Sometimes distracted

But the game goes on
Moving on from here to there
A purpose fulfilled

Check mate!

Spiritual Curiosity (Haiku)

Open not that door
Some doors aren't to be opened
Better left closed

Open the wrong door
You may not close it again
Or you can't close it

Walk into a room
There's a party going on
But it's not your kind

Now you can not leave
The shenanigans are gross
Those there have you trapped

Which is worse for us
To be forever tainted
Or simply not know

Sayonara baby!

Reflections (Haiku)

Sitting in traffic
One of the seven billion
One car in the jam

Sitting in traffic
One of the seven billion
One person alive

Sitting in traffic
Looking to the left and right
Completely unique

Paradoxical
So many yet only one
There is no other

Whatcha Doin'? (Haiku)

Lifetime elapses
Whether or not you do it
Whatever it is.

Not having done it
May become disappointment
Be sure to do it.

Having done some things
You may wind up with regret
So be sure not to.

Decisions to do
All tempered by good judgement
Mostly turn out well.

Those from rash action
Causing beaucoup de problems
Often turn out bad.

Proceed with caution
Before your life is over
Do rather than not.

Doing anything
Is preferable to nil
Forgiveness is there.

Peace of Mind (Haiku)

When I am doing
What I am supposed to do
I feel happier

The difficulty
Lies in finding that which I
Am supposed to do

A Rose Is a Rose (Haiku)

Some people you know

Are like a large rose garden

Some flowers, many thorns

Enjoy the flowers

But be careful of the thorns

Admire from afar

Advice Reflection (Haiku)

The best I can do
Is to take my own advice
And not forget it

It is there for me
Often in these Haiku lines
The wisdom of verse

Change my behavior
Change to be more pleasant
Change my attitude
