 At the Waning of the Year 2022

(A “haiku” string)



Another day gone

I wish time would take a break

And let moments last

 

There is no promise

Tomorrow may never come

Live in the moment

 

Gifts under the tree

Pinecones for hungry squirrels

And other wild things

 

Holidays for some

Anything but beautiful

For those so in need

 

At this time of year

A gathering from afar

Is par for the course


Making memories

Is quite inevitable

As loved ones gather

 

As the old year wanes

Wishes for the coming year

Arise from within

“Anything but beautiful/For those so in need”. - - - That reaches out from this writing with its stark truth. I’m glad you included it, for it put a heart stone in the center of the 7 pieces. I like that there are three celebratory haiku on top and bottom of #4, with more light than dark for this time and year. Your haiku here and in other posts are maximum reading enjoyment, Regis*. Thank you for them all. ~~ djl

I usually skip Haiku poems
mainly because I can't understand them.
Yours is a summa cum laude rendering.
I got it! Many thanks.

That was written because I felt I was "inspired" by Lena Kovadlo / Udler's poetry prompts from last week on her group, Creative Writers'Spotlight on Facebook.
