"Listen to elders"
I always hear here and there
"Even fools grow old"
This haiku is not meant to offend or disrespect elders. While many elders are wise and experienced, the poem serves as a reminder that critical thinking and respect should be earned, not assumed. It's a humorous reflection—not a harsh judgment.
Close your eyes,
just sleep,
with your hair
tickling
my ears,
hand in mine,
relaxed,
beautifully
at rest,
Asleep
as I dream
in-depth
awoken
to your beauty.
"What would people think?"
"Nothing."
"Do you care or even think about them?
Do you have anything to blame?"
"They have their own jobs to do,
Just like you."

"Judging you from different frames,
'They' is just part of your brain."
We think "What would people think?" without realizing they are busy with their own things. "What would people think?" are just different parts of our brain judging us.
Accepted
Rejected
There are two ways
The king says

On its venture
Queen attacks the centre
Targeting the pawn
Like  fictional chess prodigy Beth Harmon.
Chess players can relate...........................
Your dreams were well known.
Mine came with little fanfare.
Silent victory.
Victory - you say
You fail once and they shout hell
Indeed, its silent
