Resolutions Haiku


 http://youknowthatblog.com/          


My promise is made
A New Year's Resolution
How long will it last?


I've taken a vow
I meant it when I said it.
Things seem different now.


A crisp New Year dawns
Inertia defies challenge
No resolution.

    These are lovely...quite solemn and poignant. You always produce great haiku.

    Gentle haiku - and very well said! The voice of reason :)

    By the way, I updated today's post to reflect the new word for next week. I've got to stop doing these things in the middle of the night...

    Happy New Year!

    Bless you all. I hope those of you who have made resolutions are able to enjoy keeping them and those who don't keep them don't feel so bad. :O)

    Lovely Haiku! I'm still working on my resolutions...I usually don't finalize them until February. That probably says a lot about me, LOL!

    These are great haikus! I like to think of them more like goals rather than resolutions :)
