Mistakes

There should be no regret of the things
that happened yesterday.
Just think of the funny story it will make
for tomorrow.

Without these seemingly unwanted events
our lives would lack character,
character that others long for.
And what seems to be most memorable?

Those times when everything fit into place?
Not likely.
It is probably those times when
lost keys meant a walk home

or a misconception led to a sticky situation.
But how would we end up
without these mistakes?
Witless and bored out of our minds.

Summer: A Haiku

Soft grass on my toes,
A taste of the burning sun,
Time, please stop for me.
