Face it, change is a
constant,  inevitable
to all and sundry

Extending its reach
affecting living things and
the environment

Rejuvenating
enhanced efforts, to get the
expected results

Remaining stagnant
is not an option for it
is then regressive

Written for Haiku Heights #251 with prompt - change and shared with d'Verse OpenLinkNight week #98

  7. Nice set of haiku about change. One has to ride along with change. If you try to block it, the force can grow. :-)

  9. Beautiful expression of change, something we often resist but must eventually accept and as you stated "remaining stagnant....is then regressive."

  10. very true, but I don't think that negates how scary change can be. still it is important to embrace it for it comes regardless of our fears and sometimes in spite of our hopes. a lovely verse.

  11. Wisdom. No matter how much we reject change, it continues but not to spite us but as part of our growth.

  14. A constant change brings about a variety of experiences, and is essential to move forward and not stagnate. I believe in keeping pace with the ever changing world, for newer ideas may be better and good for growth!! Very thought provoking!! Good one Hank!!

  16. It is the indomitability of the human spirit ensures we survive it: "Change."

    Your piece says it well; there is no choice.

    Cheers!
