It’s the time of the season. Change is in the air. Do not be afraid. For in the world of the empow-WOW-ered individual, this is opportunity itself, opening up like a lotus flower or some other strained metaphor that helps indicate renewal. Let these delightful haiku poems guide you into the latest cycle of growth and self-improvement as ushered in by the fall equinox..
PAUL MAUL’S MOTIVATIONAL HAIKUS FOR AUTUMN
.
1.
The air is now crisp
I am still at the same job
Kill myself? Not yet.
2.
Soon, pumpkin carving
Jeez, it gets dark at, like, four
Depressed? Not me, dude.
3.
Leaves have hit the ground
Dead now, like my troubled mind
Fuck yeah, I’m fine, man.
4.
Before fall is through:
Thanksgiving; family! Oh
I came from these freaks.
5.
Evening, a wind
A sweater worn once again
Kill myself? Not yet.
Well, I certainly you hope you found some great self-improvement takeaways in these inspirational mottos done in a style that invokes ancient, timeless wisdom, whether or not it is actually there.
If you have some inspiring thoughts that fit the 5-7-5 paradigm, post a comment.
Upwards!
Paul

Woo-hoo. Not only have you helped me discover my metier, but you have done it up haiku style. You are a rocking individual!

Oh for fuck’s sake, man
Haiku’s not my cup of tea
Unless it’s a tweet

Nice! I imagine many haikus would fit nicely on Twitter. I am not a haiku elitist.

True genius. The only problem is that they don’t rhyme. Don’t give up. I’ve just sent you that rhyming dictionary from your Amazon wish list. Enjoy it!

So glad you are on the lookout for what true poetry really is. Thanks, Zeke, look forward to getting that dictionary!

Before and after.

Exalted experiences…
Interconnectivity…
Day follows night.
That’s what she said.

And that’s what they all say.
