The Final Report (Haiku)

In cemeteries
Two dates upon a tombstone
The final report

A life is defined
Without the accomplishments
By two simple dates

Growing Pains (Haiku)

Watching them grow up
On the refrigerator
As the years went by

Now (Haiku)

What's happening now
It's the most important thing
Later it won't be

Success (Haiku)

Success breeds success
From the little come the big
Accomplish something

There's a difference
Between a pile of loose bricks
And a finished wall

Insignificant
Not if according to plan
One brick in the wall

You need not be told
That difference is a plan
Started as a dream

Deeds (Haiku)

Dreams are like the seeds
Visions are just like the rain
Goals become the sprouts

Tasks, the mature plants
Accomplishment is the fruit
The crop defines life

The Faded Memory (Haiku)

There's no yesterday
Only twenty minutes, now,
There's no tomorrow

On Aging (Haiku)

Is this what it's like
Bit by every little bit
First the knees, then back

Exercise be damned
I think it is what hurt me
Not as young as then

Going day by day
Everything was going fine
And then suddenly

At once it happens
No warning, no signs, no heys!
Simply numbing pain

Getting up or down
Measure each motion with care
Others have it too

Now I understand
The pain need not be stated
But it is felt there
