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!

The road out ahead
Down the road a little ways
How much road remains?
Thank you for sharing so many haikus, Robb. I like this one, too. It seems we’ve only gone a little ways, and who knows how much further we’ll have to go.
Father’s early life
Passing in his memories
The hospice bed waits
