Another Year, Another Disappointment

Day one of this brand-new year is in the books now. It seems like it was just yesterday that I was running around, proclaiming that 2023 was going to be the best year ever. Or at least, better than 2022. Yet here I am once again hoping that that you will light the way to a better future. So let me give a toast to 2024…may she live up to the greatness we are expecting from her. No change can be seen when heads are stuck in the sand look toward Heaven

your Haibun is fabulous, Jerry! I've done pretty much as you've done each year since 2020 thinking we'll have a better year...yet seems like all around the world is chaos and cratering. Yet, there's hope in your Haiku....we can't keep our heads stuck in the sand but we can look toward heaven. One powerful Haiku! enjoy your week, Sara
