Oh how very true, lol. Nice one...!

Good one!

good haiku

Very good metaphor in this haiku, Barbra... how true it is!!! I liked this a lot!!!

Very well done! Dramatic and powerful in so few words! Hope you had a lovely holiday Barbra

Thanks so much, you guys!!! Ernie, Reena, Cindy, Chuck, J Wright, Autumn and Alison... great to see you. Yes, thank you, Alison, I had a lovely, lovely holiday. So thoughtful of you. :)

It's perfect and for me it's the best line....I am expert in breaking my own rule,..wow...How simply you said such big truth...

ha!

Bhawana, that's cute!!! Resolutions can be difficult to keep, can't they, my friend?

Brilliant as usual!
I needed to stop by and to thankyou for your card!!! You intuition when it comes to me is astounding. You and autumn! I love the both of you dearly. Do to the love love and support I have recieved from my friends here, esp. those who are very intuned to me for reasons beyond my understandings....I actually went over to a friends house with other friends for a love christmas meal and a rousing good time. I never would have done this last year. Not ever. thankyou....I love You so...Peg

Words of wit and wisdom. I love the picture that goes with the haiku. A visual image to augment the verbal one.

Peggy,

I am thrilled, my dear, that you went to a friend's house for Christmas. I love that for you!!!! How wonderful!

You are so welcome for the card! Love to you (our Buddy) and all of your dear animals. :)

Pat:

Thanks so much! Great to see you! I appreciate your comments!

good one, hopefully the new resolutions will last longer than the dishes referenced here!

ha!

Very good point, David! :)

Loved it. I truly have a hard time keeping the resolutions made. So now I don't make any, so I don't have to worry about breaking them. Ha.. Ha.. Ha

ha!

I'm with you, Linda. I don't make them either. I find it better to just stay quiet about what I plan to improve and work into it at a reasonable pace. :)

Thank you for stopping by!

NO MORE RESOLUTIONS..... I am half way to my weight goal Down 20 lbs and 32 inches in 8 weeks. No Diets........No pills....No meetings......No shakes......No needles...
To OUR success.......Bob

Bob!

How exciting for you! Congratulations, too! That's quite an accomplishment!

Good point you made, Barbra! Reminds me, I don't keep broken dishes either:)

ha!

I don't either, Virginia. Something about a broken dish that bothers me. I have to let it go!!! Thanks for your visit.

I know that the gist of your haiku in relation to New Years is the disappointment and letdown of broken resolutions..the permanence of the breach in the promise to self or others ..just as irreconcilable as shattering a dish...no amount of glue can repair..even if you try to resume that resolution there is that air of illegitamacy
But the idea of breaking dishes in relation to New Years dredged up forgotton memories..
we used to do that when growing up..my mother ,from the 'old europe' Portugese,
insisted that old dishes be thrown into the street ...we thought she was nuts..every New Year's Eve at midnight the same..until we got a bit older or maybe because she ran outta old crockery and dishes ,I imagine..
thank you for the memory...actually the idea of destroying dishes or crockery to signify the end of old ,getting rid of any bad spirits...(or in some cases the rationale is not completely understood ) is a universal concept to many ancient cultures

Sheila:

I truly appreciate you having shared this! I am thrilled to know of this custom, and even more thrilled that the haiku awakened these memories for you. Thank you so much for having taken the time to have shared this with me.
