Our future is there

Waiting for us to catch up

Hope we did it right….

  • Comment from author about the poem: There is a theory that past, present and future exist simultaneously. We create our future each moment by what we do. Therefore it would behoove us to think before we act. Fingers crossed!

    Makes me think of the law of attraction although I’m not sure I always like the ideas around that ..

    Yes think before we act although nobody is perfect .

    Nice writing ..



  • sorenbarrett

    Another great haiku yes we are all trying to catch up with our future.

      Thank you for for reading, your comments always appreciated!

      Thinking ahead before action is the wisest move Bella - a haiku with much food for thought.

      • Bella Shepard

        Thank you my dear Fay, your comments are greatly appreciated.

        Not sure it is waiting, but it will certainly pop up at just the appropriate moment, and yes, be a judgement on what I am doing now...
        However, I have not the slightest intention of attempting a haiku here, Bella....Yours is a good 'un.

          Thank you dear Dave, The strangest things pop into my head at 3:00 in the morning. We've also just switched back to standard time from daylight savings, and I think the brain cells are having to adjust.

          • Doggerel Dave

            I know, that daylight saving thingy is a shocker, Bella. One can only hope that the future doesn't get too discombobulated as a result..

              I just love your comment! That must be why I seem to meet myself coming and going.

              Now I'm a confused laddie lol. With past, present, and future - I met myself coming back from the shops, while on my way there. Eh?
              I talk some rot. lol.
              But I did see a guy walking backwards with shopping. Maybe practising for the Annual Backward Walking Shopping Competition, which I oversee. (do I?).

              • Bella Shepard

                I love your comment, but when I got to the last two lines I practically did a spit take all over my keyboard. I'll be chuckling all day over that one.

                • orchidee

                  Hmm - it's true. Well, not the Competition bit. That what makes it nutty!

                  A few words, with deep meaning.

                  “All is predestined, yet we alone are creator’s of our destiny”

                    You have phrased your comment so thoughtfully, I just love it. Thank you!

                    I'm guessing that no one is going to argue with the sentiment so firmly planted in such an exceptionally well crafted 575 little poetic gem ........... Neville

                      My dearest friend, you have been sorely missed. It is so good to have you back in the fold. Your comments always encourage me, and for that I am truly grateful.
