I woke up this morning to a constant pelt of rain that indicated my dogs couldn't go downstairs for their morning walk. The dogs, of course, were none too happy.
Nor was I. A planned trip to Mount Faber and a cable car ride were cancelled. Of course, disappointment arose.
Feelings of disappointment will resonate in our lives constantly. It does us good to acknowledge them, accept the situation and focus on what we can control (for example, I decided to write a nice poem instead). And of course, we must care for ourselves too.
Enjoy these haikus.
Very dark rain clouds
Gathering, mean, in the sky
Rain pelts on the soul
Very dark rain clouds,
Gathering, doleful, dauntless,
Raindrops clear and strong
Very dark rain clouds
Cannot stop mighty showers
But use umbrella
Very dark rain clouds
Avoid by taking shelter
And not getting wet.

The Voyeur's Incandescent Reasoning
The woman sat nonplussed, in the Waiting Room. In a sort of daze, looking straight ahead patiently. She had already had three small breakfast's that morning and a nip of sherry, this was not unusual she would typically wait until an hour after she took her anti-depressant and was her morning routine. She was merely following instructions she assured herself, shifted slightly in her seat and feeling a little heart burn thought, maybe she should skip lunch. Dom had said to have the task done this week. She was well used to his methods and desired to get this over and done with soon. She glanced at her watch, smiled weakly at the Receptionist who was there for a moment and then gone.

Yup, it's always better to focus on what we can control. Loved your set of Haikus!
