Autumn Flowers

Autumn flowers, decaying slowing, gracefully

in this autumn rain
flowers feel the grasp of time
morning moving past 

Autumn Leaves

Autumn Leaves

in this gentle breeze
reddened leaves dance graceful
in the morning mist

It’s been a busy week. I started fall quarter and ended up with a stomach bug. Those two items sucked up the majority of my time. I’ll have more updates shortly.

I hope everyone of you is well and that you’re feeling refreshed and re-energized.

rain upon my face
joyous autumnal breezes
all the earth refreshed

Today’s Haiku: A Heavy Rain


ferocious rain falls 
battering leaves and flowers
days fade into night

nature's graceful force
always pushing us forwards
through autumnal rains

Ah, a lovely, rainy near-autumn morning here in Seattle. Autumn is my favorite season, so this fills me with happiness. And I expect my brown lawn is rejoicing with the rain.

I created this with Canva. The image is not mine, but a complementary one in Canva. Motion in text is something I am exploring deeper. Yeah, this isn’t that terribly challenging, but I’m all for small steps.

dawn upon the clouds
hints of red within the leaves
gentle morning mists

Today’s Haiku and Graphic

laying forgotten in the weeds
within autumn rain

Summer’s Walk

Vibrant sky

this vibrant blue sky
delightful Summertime warmth
autumn approaching

This is a tree I’ve walked by myriad times. Today, with a cloudless sky, I stood out on my walk. Though it’s still summer weather, the crispness of autumn makes its presence known. Soon…very soon, summer will retire. As much as I love summer autumn holds a dear place one my heart.

Haiku: September 4, 2021

Summer Flower

as the summer fades
at the air somewhat cooler
boldest of flowers

Lily Pads

deep within the woods
a pond with lily pads
dragonflies pass by

The above haiku is my response to today’s “Baffled Haiku Challenge“, a daily prompt posted on Twitter by the user Baffled. I try to contribute daily to this community. It’s a pretty awesome group of people.
