Knit a Haiku scarf;

link the fragments you have found;

the world gives some warmth.

   Haiku are trim tools

   tempting us to think or feel

   and accept the world.

This plain world seems full

of them, obediently

waiting to be penned.

   Even a lame line

   can cool the rage of sadness,

   take away the blues.

Chatter to the page,

but remember, concentrate

on vital matters.

   But will any one

   make a difference to life,

   make the poor less poor?

Kindly shape just one,

let it make your life flourish

in an empty day.

   Put a word in place

   each day; mould a line a month;

   soon a life seems gone.
