World No Tobacco Day – A Haiku

MY MINERVA MOMENT
A HAIKU TO COMMEMORATE THE MOMENT I QUIT SMOKING
By
VIKRAM KARVE 

Conquering an Addiction is like attaining Freedom from Bondage.

I quit smoking 17 years ago – in the year 2002. '

Here is a Haiku I wrote many years ago – to celebrate the moment I quit smoking – and – to describe my freedom from the bondage of smoke rings.

MY MINERVA MOMENT 

 

smoke rings

chains of bondage

like handcuffs

fresh breeze

smoke rings dissolve

I am free

Oh Yes – Dear Reader – this is exactly what I felt like when I freed myself from the smoking habit – conquering an addiction is like freedom from bondage. 

In case you are a smoker and you want to quit smoking – here is the link to my article on HOW TO QUIT SMOKING IN 3 SIMPLE STEPS (WITHOUT WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS)
