Haiku Halo

This month has been full of angels and demons and confronting my own. I’m learning to be more patient than I ever thought possible, with myself and others, and I think this batch of haiku confronts the norms. So, I hope you enjoy my micro-poems from September. Please let me know if you have a favorite.

return to your roots. #haiku #haikuchallenge pic.twitter.com/Pbw6FV2c4M

I have found that as I age, I have more patience. This is no reference to your age of course. It’s nice to have that extra patience…

As time progresses
and the world regresses
in a downward groove
climbing the fences
and returning to your roots
is always a good move

  Anaida, thank you so much for this comment. I will continue to wield my magic wand pencil and hopefully cast many more healing spells in the future. wand
