Seek Good No Matter Who Rules: Haiku

It doesn’t matter/
who’s in power. They all do/
good and bad. Seek good.
—Post-election, pre-inauguration wisdom from the Old Woman of the Woods

Righteous Anger Is Not Mine: Haiku

Righteous anger is/

what God can have and deal out./

I’m not Him. Love peace.

What if the Left is/
right, and good is bad? How do/
we recalibrate?

Though that black pill is/
hard and bitter to swallow, /
I must have more faith.

Now that Trump’s out of/
office, will his haters be
nice, kind and loving?

As the government/

falters, I’ll go out and plant/

my veggie Garden.

Your back may scream in /
agony, but poetry /
needs to be written.*

(or)
screams to be written.

The reason we are/
now called old farts is because/
that’s what we’re doing.

We* enjoy the times/
when thinking about nothing/
is doing something.

*Let’s enjoy the times

“When our car misfires,/
we fix it. We should do the/
same when life misfires.”
(Paraphrasing wisdom from the pulpit.)
