to hold on
or let go to fly,
choice, not fate
~0~0
last two leaves
cling to branch, waiting
howling wind
~0~0
black or white,
kismet rolls the dice,
ride the wave

I enjoyed today's set of haiku. The last one is my favourite although it's an age old argument which it is - our fate or our choice -. Thank you.
ReplyDeletei really like the truth in that first one...fate is easy to blame for our own failings...
ReplyDeleteA choice one has to make but sometimes it comes to late and they hold on for far to long, wasting time one shouldn't.
ReplyDeleteChoice is my choice, not fate!
