The haiku for Day 17 of National Poetry Month is inspired by the quote, “Hindsight is 20/20.” Perhaps that’s why wisdom comes with age — by now, most of our lives are now hindsight. We’ve learned our lessons, and things are more clear.

However, I hope I have more lessons to learn — just not the hard way!

As always, I welcome your haiku, too. Any reflections of what was learned by the past? You might just win a copy of my book, Life: Haiku by Haiku!
