I thought I’d see in the new year with a couple of Tanka and a few Haikus:
Haikus
1.
These years pass quicker
than the ones I remember
dimmed in memory.
2.
I resolve to write
more, better, with passion
just like every year.
3.
I have failed some goals
yet exceeded in some ways
my expectations.
4.
Approaching New Year…
I’ve high hopes for you and me,
not resolutions.
Tankas
1.
Here, it is raining
heavy against the window.
Close your eyes, listen.
This sound does not change with time,
this year, last and next… constant.
2.
This year brought changes,
graduation, moving out,
engagement and mortgage plans.
This year I have dived straight in.
You, have kept me on my feet.
