Tree
of thoughts grips mind
Generates
ideas and
Imagination
Tree
of misfortune
Traps
life often, happiness
Struggles
to evolve
Sometimes,
even when we don’t do anything wrong, we realize that everything went wrong. We
try to do something for good reasons but we get pathetic results. We try to
rectify but it gets worse. Sometimes, I wonder why it happens. This is we call
rotten luck perhaps. But it feels really…really bad.
Happiness struggles, but can evolve from the pathetic results it's trapped in. Sometimes all happiness needs is a haiku.
ReplyDeleteExactly my thoughts Tarang...sometimes despite everything that we do we fall short of getting what we want and end up having nothing !
ReplyDeleteAs always, lovely Haiku!
I agree with you...when things like this happen, it feels really bad and is hard to come to terms with. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
ReplyDeleteYes, I so understand the feeling. Sometimes, we have to detach, step back and Be the Observer........hoping our best intentions come across. I especially like "happiness struggles to evolve".
ReplyDeleteSo true Tarang.. Love the last line.. 'Happiness STruggles to eveolve'.. it does..
ReplyDeleteI loved the way you referenced tree as life ... wonderful haiku duo :-)
ReplyDeleteThere can be many trees that take root in our lives, but we always hope for good fruit to grow. Nicely written.
ReplyDeleteC'est la vie, Tarang ! Hmmmm... First set of haiku in this series that uses the prompt to show trees in a despondent way.
ReplyDelete"Tree of thoughts" - fascinating interpretation paint an entire picture of how thoughts grow from seed, root and touch the sky.
