No second chances

"please sir, I want more..."


I'll bet I won't have finished
when they take away life's plate...

that's why I rush so much, I guess,
there isn't time to wait..:)

We won't be allowed seconds, I'm afraid ...

So we'll have to make the most of this one life. The only one we have

Thank you so much for your precious thoughts, Paul.

Wow, grow this one a little more, seems like a wonderful chorus for a poem/song about life...

Thank you so much, fvp, for your kind words!

The growing you have to do by yourself, I'm afraid. This haiku's just an "appetizer" which you may fill with life :-).

You're awesome Miss Chi.  We should live a thousand times to make up for the mistakes; I should anyway in the ones that I made. Sometimes we make them, sometimes we let them go on around us in silence, but there are no seconds, not this time, and so we better live it and live it good. I like seeing the good anyway.        Thank you, Miss Chi.  You get me thinking, and that's good when you're in the business of not breaking. Sometimes I don't know what I'm doing though; admittedly.  :)  

I'm thinking of Sartre's "Les jeux sont faits" where the protagonist meets the love of his life in heaven and where they were given the chance to return into their lives again and love each other, as it was predetermined from the day of their birth. But they fail although they do love each other because they can't depart from their original way of life. They squander the chance to live twice ...  
 
So I think if we were given the chance to make up for our mistakes in another life, we would commit the same errors all over again ... Nothing would be gained. Perhaps that's the reason why we only live once ... People make mistakes, we're just human :-).

That's why one should enjoy the opportunity when it's there ... Wise words in your pen Miss Chiyo

You're so right, Lobo, but we so often forget to do exactly that and complain where there's nothing to complain about and throw away the good opportunities ... Thank you :-).

That's why today,I have to say,I love ya Miss Chi :)

Hahaha! WOW, dear Hash,
that's extremely sweet of you!
Love you, too!:-)

interesting thoughts, Chi. we can only do our best w/what we're given...

And if we're not given enough? Then what?

Great Haiku!

Thanks a lot snugglebuck :-). Glad you like it!
