Sonnet

Paul says I have never asked anyone for money or clothes.
The work I did earned enough to meet my needs.
He expresses himself in flawless prose.
But far greater are his deeds.

What does he say, exert yourselves to support the weak.
There is more happiness in giving than receiving.
But easier than doing good is to it speak.
Having comes easier than giving.

I am watching ‘Nomadland’.
Sometimes happiness comes with having less.
I wonder why we care so little in our own land.
Our own possessions bring only stress.

It’s enough to say, see you down the road.
Than worrying too much about our own abode.

Haiku

It’s enough to say
See you down the road than care
About our own home
