Like all who linger

I am dwindling but not

Yet prepared to end

    Feel like this could be applied multiple ways...Hope you are well, D.J.!

    Sometimes I ruminate on that line between living your life and lingering in it, and when we decide that it’s been crossed. Another thought provoking entry!

    Oh! This is fascinating, because I have no idea what exactly is dwindling - interest? Or something much more ominous? The fact that I don't makes me appreciate the senryu that much more. Also, I hope you're okay. 🙏

    Got to keep going, D.J. Despite and inspite and all that.

    Like D, I don’t know the context but I hope you are alright. 😊

  • Oh, this is so true and stirs wonderful memories of my dad. He always pondered about life, like this wonderful haiku ❤️

  • Is there a context for this? Is your health dwindling and you're not ready to die? 😅😅
