Gardening Gloves - haiku

I take my gloves off,

put them back in my fleece top.

job done. grass cut. peace

Lying Mind

my mind is lying to me again.

it says I need a chocolate biscuit

when I know my body needs a piece of fruit.

What a horrible thing to know,

that your own most powerful machine

is constantly plotting against

your physical and mental wellbeing.

Tomorrow

if tomorrow brings

only further hopes

for tomorrow

then what's the point

in tomorrow?

Shouldn't we just abolish it?

The Best Thing

the best thing we can do

is to not do anything

the best thing to be

is just to be

the best way to bring peace

is to be at peace

the best way to end war

is to stop being at war with yourself

Be and do

be and do

do and be

don't just do

don't just be

do what is good

do what is fun

be what you are

when you are what you are

be and do

do and be

or as the old rock n rollers sang

doo-be-doo-be-doo-be-doo-be-doo

Different Expectations

 He wants peace

she wants a helper

He wants to create

she wants the dishes done and done properly

and put away in the right place

He wants to write poetry

She wants enough money

to not have to look at her bank account

to check if there's enough in it

to buy that nice, ordinary not too expensive dress

He wants peace

Fatigue

Fatigue finds its way into every crevice

clouds the mind

weakens the body

we try to fight it

doesn't work

we try to soldier on

we lose the battle

then fatigue leaves us

as mysteriously as it came

taking all its unwanted effects with it

as it goes to who knows where
