Hope The Contents of These Haiku Make You Content (They Switch Off!)
It's waiting inside
The details of everything
Including ourselves
Feeling good enough
- state of peaceful happiness -
satisfied and pleased
Sometimes I get caught
in between content and form,
praying for balance
Content is the word
for what I think simcha is,
rather than happy
I have my radar
for quality of content.
It's a strong system
Animals can sense
when you're feeling discontent;
some people can too
The rabbi's challenge
to not look at the cover
but at the content
Why not be content
with our third grade teacher's rule?
five, seven, and five
Tables of contents
don't show what's truly inside;
you have to read on
Content equals rich
And who is that? Nobody.
- Benjamin Franklin
I strive for content
in this smokey, mirrored world:
"Just give me some truth."
A secret to life
is truly seeing what is,
and being content

However, a table of contents can give you some clues about what you will find inside, even if you choose not to read on.
Content to Gather Shadows
The last one is my favourite. Be content and thankful for what you are already blessed with.Cerebral treasures are the only real treasures.
I liked the last one the best. There is nothing truer. :-)
A poem, well written.
Wonderful set, loved the last one the most, thank you for sharing the secret :)
wonderful contents ! wisdom lining as usual , Rabbi !
Each of these comments means a great deal for me.
I apologize that I have not, this time, read other people's poems. But I hope to.
I am grateful to have haiku horizons motivating me to write.
