Born in a muddy place,
Still, I wiggle my way out to
share my innocent grace.

Adversity is like air,
It will never disappear,
but, I don’t care.

I always try to be happy. That has been my number one goal since I was in college. When things really bug me, I try so hard to think of the funny side of what is happening. Hopeing that they will stop bugging me. Which leads to some pretty crazy thoughts? Make of it what you will. This is me. I hope you enjoy.

Most of us feel it, some don't. Some of us say it, some don't. Some may agree, some won't. Be as it may, the facts still remain.
A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul. (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)

Always great to have you with us, Jingle! Love those stunning flowers! So nice 🙂
Hi Jingle ~~ your verses are very truthful. Of course they fit your pretty pictures but life as well.
..
If you are going to write very much haiku you might want to read up about it. You could also read about senryu which has the same form but tells about humanity things instead of the nature and its seasons as does the pure haiku. Wikipedia is a good start and then Google will give your more academic reading. Mine are mostly senryus.
..
Love your haikus jingle. Beautifully done.
a set of exquisite haiku dear, ALL the lovely awards you graced me with have now been posted, thank you for your patience and help finding them, my friend xx

Sometimes, just a few words can say so much!! I mean, this really was awesome!!!

Born in a muddy place, but I don’t care. That’s what I took from this, Jingle. Very nice. Very encouraging. 🙂
Great photos and haiku! Thank you for sharing!
After just spending a few days gardening, I myself feel like I’ve wriggled out of the mud, not gracefully, but then again, I don’t care 😉 Thanks for sharing!

Hi Jingle!
I like the first haiku. It formed images in my head. The second one is nice, too. As one of the bloggers who commented said, “I love the attitude.”
Katherine 🙂
Very nice.
