Wings I was given,
to fly I was taught,
yet,
hesitant I have been
to take that leap,
and
to spread those wings
lest they shrivel and die.

i rise, i fall…
I’ve fallen;
far too many times
than I can count,
that the only way
for me to fall again
is to rise up.

to life’s simple questions,
human’s complicate matters.

is already there,
simply rethink your question.
I totally enjoyed this prompt for this week’s haiku. Several options popped into my head but I settled for this two ‘cos of the message behind them.
Sage and Vine – Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku Challenge
fruits of the vine
mature with age,
and so does sage.
wisdom, she lost,
buried in the deep cups
of the grapevine.

Soft cooing sounds of comfort
the dove reminds,
the land is richly green
I felt a bit rusty writing this haiku. It’s been many months of no practice but after several attempts, I managed to cobble something that I like.
Thank you for an interesting prompt Ronovan. Grass & Dove
Time and Movement – Haiku Challenge
Every inch of our movement
takes us closer to the shallow grave
it’s a matter of time.
This haiku might sound morbid, but it’s just a statement of fact. Each moment that we receive never comes back again. When I think of time, I think of the fact that it’s our most valuable commodity and there’s simply not enough of it. Every moment counts make the best of it.

Woke and Up – Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku Challenge
Once I saw Ronovans’ prompt, woke & up, I chuckled. Getting out of bed these days has been a struggle ‘cos I’ve been sleeping unusually late. The first haiku depicts this ‘bedmatics struggle’ and the second haiku has political connotations.
The shrilling alarm woke me
but it was hard to get up,
my pillow held me down.
If we don’t stay ‘woke,’
and rise up to change the paradigm
we all risk losing everything.

Never Ever!
Never try,
to squeeze me into
your box.
It will never
be
big enough!

Sail On…A Thought For Tuesday
Our hardship forms the backbone of our success. Without these travails – as unpleasant as they may be – where would our stories of triumph be?
Your past is not your anchor
Be the master of your sea
Your boat has many ports to visit.
Bliss and Brawn – Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku
Enfolded in warm brawny arms
their hearts thump in a blissful state,
love is a good thing
a cooking pot and twisted tales
