haiku: Wintry mix

Introduction: Through cold inconvenience, nature teaches patience to all its sentient beings.

Freezing rain near dawn.

All creatures must slow, else slip. 

Time to wait slowly.

senryu: Real time

Introduction: Do not dread too much that which you cannot change. We are all in this same hospice, Earth. Be kind to all creatures, including yourself. Enjoy life while you can.

Old age teaches truth.
Birth kidnapped me unprepared.
Death finds me ready.
