Tree


 
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.

  1. Happiness struggles, but can evolve from the pathetic results it's trapped in. Sometimes all happiness needs is a haiku.

  2. Exactly my thoughts Tarang...sometimes despite everything that we do we fall short of getting what we want and end up having nothing !

    As always, lovely Haiku!

  3. 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.

  4. Yes, 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".

  7. There can be many trees that take root in our lives, but we always hope for good fruit to grow. Nicely written.

  8. C'est la vie, Tarang ! Hmmmm... First set of haiku in this series that uses the prompt to show trees in a despondent way.
