anger, my old friend
the time has come to part ways
it’s not me, it’s you
— —
Anger visited yesterday. It’s been awhile, so I was surprised to see them. I shouldn’t have — their sidekick Frustration…
I deleted it
but I shouldn’t have written
it in the first place
When I wrote this haiku a couple of weeks ago, it meant one thing to me. Today it serves up a completely different lesson.
a horrible day
infectious if you let it
take a moment — breathe
We all have bad days — each and every one of us.
staring at the ground
anticipating the worst
praying for the best
This haiku come courtesy of a moment this week when my heart said to act but my brain held me in check. While my brain was right…
burning in my mind
a slow, smoldering simmer
because of my heart
Someone I love very much is going through a tough time right now. While it’s not my story to tell, I can hint around the edges.
touching the tile floor
letting the coolness temper
my burning anger
Today’s haiku once again comes from my meditation practice.
too often, anger
our first reaction, but the
last choice we would make
I don’t know that there’s much I can add to this one, so I’ll let it stand on its own.
my seething anger
fomented by others
consumes precious time
defensiveness brings
a seething indignancy
to too many thoughts
