Humans have a gift
For being incredibly
Blind to their own gifts
I scribbled this down a few nights ago. It was just a random insight that happened to come out in Haiku form. I’m posting it for the prompt about presents/presence/gifts from Manicddaily on dVerse, even though it’s not really the same meaning of the word “gifts” that they’re talking about over there.

Yes indeed, we mostly do. 🙂
ah, that matters little…there is a lot of truth in this…i think often we dont pay attention to how we are gifted…you see this in people at work in particular in jobs that are not suited to them but if they had it they would do great…and def in other arenas of life as well…
David, totally agree. thank you for sharing, it made me smile… so true.
Thank you, Miriam 🙂
I like this and it is so true! Thank you for sharing.
I do think you are right! Thanks for a thought-provoking work.
I have been recently thinking the same.. I wrote a few poems about gifts we have, one that I particularly love, … poetry is truly a gift because it is something we give to ourselves deeply and gives pleasure also to others. 🙂
Very true. Thanks, Malena. 🙂
I like the way haiku can concisely express these larger concepts. And totally agree with this one David.
Thanks, Holly. I thought about expanding it into a longer piece, but it really said all it needed in three lines I think.
So right. And you are spot on with the prompt! Thanks. k.
Thank you. I was worried it was too far off from the prompt at first, but I’m glad everyone’s enjoyed it.
Thank you..excellent and on point.
You seem to have said it all in your Haiku, David.
Seasons Greetings 🙂
Thanks, Polly. And a very Happy Holiday to you. 🙂
oh yes…that is so very true…we need to train our eyes to see them…
Indeed — and blind to the gifts of others — and blind to the value of such gifts. Short and sweet
Yeah it is really true…we just ignore the gifts we have and cry for those that we dont..
How true this is. Insightful.
..unfortunately that’s a sad, sad truth… and though we’re given the awareness of such… still, i didn’t do anything ’bout it.. excellent..
Merry Christmas to you and family…
smiles…
Thank you very much. A very Merry Christmas to you as well! 🙂
