Haikus About War, Weather and Life

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.

long busy day planned
thankful to Gd for my health
each day a true gift

cold, grey winter morn'
exhausted from yesterday
but was lots of fun

suddenly sunshine
see weather changing quickly

Gd created earth
but man's bad judgements cause war
VICTORY NOW, please

Holy Shabbat soon
trying to clear mind's worries
Gd willing, please help

new week, pray for change
weak leader endangers us 🇮🇱
I can't ignore it

freezing cold today
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

never ending war
people, nations hate us Jews
comes from them, not us

I'm a nobody
my opinion doesn't count
but I'm not quiet

I never follow

woke much too early
too frustrating forcing sleep
that refused to come

Thank Gd for Shabbat
just another few hours
special holy day...

pray for better week
may Gd gift leaders with wisdom
so far disaster

don't be fooled by words...
don't trust fancy promises
I don't see true peace...

Israel's enemies
want to believe all those lies
truth ruins their story
