It's amazing how much can be expressed in seventeen 17 syllables... Yes, I've posted many of my haikus over the years, and I think we're due for a new haiku post. I write a haiku, posting it on Facebook, every morning besides Shabbat and Jewish Holidays when writing and posting are forbidden. Sometimes I wonder if I'm being repetitive, considering that I write hundreds each year... Wow! Even I'm impressed 🤣 Following is a variety, as promised in the title. Enjoy, and please let me know in the comments which you like and why. Thanks.

Haikus About War, Weather and Life
thankful to Gd for my health
each day a true gift
cold, grey winter morn'
exhausted from yesterday
but was lots of fun
Gd created earth
but man's bad judgements cause war
VICTORY NOW, please
trying to clear mind's worries
Gd willing, please help
new week, pray for change
weak leader endangers us 
I can't ignore it
glad my plans changed to stay home
will Zoom and walk here
Thursday so quickly
week sped by and didn't do
all that I had planned
people, nations hate us Jews
comes from them, not us
I'm a nobody
my opinion doesn't count
but I'm not quiet
woke much too early
too frustrating forcing sleep
that refused to come
just another few hours
special holy day...
pray for better week
may Gd gift leaders with wisdom
so far disaster
don't trust fancy promises
I don't see true peace...
Israel's enemies
want to believe all those lies
truth ruins their story
