Life is a journey Life is a journey From nowhere to nowhere and No stopping between. (2001) * Learn to laugh a lot. Learn to laugh a lot. Who smiles most won’t get upset By adversity. (2001) * Politicians’ Credo. To thyself be true … So that you may merrily Keep lying to all… (2001) * Look at it this way… Look at it this way: Life is just a series Of interruptions. (2002) * Thinking makes you think… Thinking makes you think… Thinking also makes you wise… Just think about it… (2002) * Using four-letter words. When you feel angry Use a four-letter word like Calm, care, love, amen… (2002) * What is happiness? What is happiness? A moment of silence midst The noise of living. (2002) * Pleasure. Pleasure is: being; And being aware of it. Be aware always… (2003) * Why? Why is it that the Most frequently asked question By a child is: “Why?” (2002) * Only the fool walks with pride. Wise men take counsel With humility. Only The fool walks with pride. (2002) * Life is a paradox Life’s a paradox Locked inside a conundrum Wrapped in mystery. (2003) * My life as a joke. I came to regard My life as a joke. My death… A laugh at the end. (2003) * © P. J. Oszmann (2001-2003) © Illustration created in Publisher and Photoshop. (2004) I have a notebook where - from time to time - I jot down some thoughts that occur to me. The above haikus were all “converted” from some of those notes.

Sometime heavy - sometimes light;
Sometimes dark and sometimes bright;
Sometimes looking: what a sight!
Always enjoying - what a delight!
Your poems and pictures, Peter,
Sometimes puzzling, always integer!
