Life, so brief and short

Today, I’m writing a haiku for Haiku Horizons, because well, I like to write poetry and I like some variety. 🙂  In week #62 of Haiku Horizons, the word prompt is ‘short’. I decided to write a double haiku for this – two haikus opposing each other.

Life, so brief and short

Life, so brief and short
Why are we busy chasing
Material success

Life, so brief and short
Focus on peace, happiness
Change in perspective
