Friends,
today’s word is duality, and I’m doing a series of Haiku based on the word. Feel free to join me! Or continue free flow poems!
It is this or that
and we must always choose one
we cannot be whole
Do you know yourself
Can you hold all of yourself
Or are you scattered
I looked at my face
And saw every aspect there
I am all of me
“Understand: both sides,
they are equally valid,”
they tell me, “So stop
overreacting.”
As if life and health and death
are mere abstractions.
Birthday in couplets
Command silence, request a song in shouts,
light the tall candles, blow them all out.
Another year gone, another year gained,
why not fill another cup to drain?
