Life as you see it (senryû)

Senryû 1 Minute

Life as you see it
may not be in my
line of vision.

don’t see eye to eye
differences of opinion
just a different lens

why must you argue
over and over and
over again?

wars have erupted
for far much more
and much less
what are you waiting forÉ
mediate for peace now

love, hate, greed
trigger some form of hell
we can all avoid.

A little bit about moi: I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator. I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors. Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin https://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka. I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other. http://stigmahursteveryone.wordpress.com

    1. So true, Michelle Marie. The first two lines of this poem kept gnawing at me at work tonight, so this is what transpired:) Glad you could relate.

      1. oH I so can I currently have someone that wants to pick arguments with me and it’s maddening to stop them. I’ve had to just ignore this challenging words and let them flail around! Such a waste of energy I think! 😀

      3. OH yes! I wish we could do that but ignoring is best don’t you think! Not giving someone the satisfaction of an argument is hard to do but saves my sanity for sure! 😀
