On New Year’s Resolutions – Haiku – Senryu

There are better days,
Than after weeks* of excess,
To be resolute.

To be resolute
Choose a quiet day, after
Long obedience.

*”days,” “months,” “years,” may also be used here

  1. Do you mean not to ‘resolve’ on January 3rd after a festive brunch but next week when one has settled back to a quieter state, right?

    • 🙂 Indeed. Actually, I am hoping to begin my “long obedience” in this and other areas tomorrow and then be resolute later1
