Haiku Friday: New Year's Resolutions
Between ages 10-35, I made "5-year plans" that laid out specific personal (and eventually, professional) goals. I suppose I got the idea from Soviet propaganda somewhere, but it was a pretty productive tool.
While I'm into that kind of planning, New Year's resolutions have never been a big thing for me. Sometimes I have general aspirations, but I've never taken it seriously. I admire people who do! Let's haiku about that this week. Here, I will go first:
My resolution:
Lose 100 pounds or more!
Down to 80 pounds.
Now it is your turn! Just use the 5/7/5 syllable pattern, and have some fun!

I thought ‘19 was
bad. Twenty worse. Twenty-one
worst of all. Hurting
as ‘22 starts.
Even the weather today
is sad and dreary.
My optimism
is sparse. But it IS present.
Small light, flickering
just beyond where I
can touch it. But I see it.
Has to do for now.
I’m old enough to
know bad times pass. The sun
light will shine again.
