A PNW Morning

sunrise climbing clouds
fires of life stretching westward
my dreams still speaking

A Blustery Day

sprinting clouds move past
trees bow, respecting the wind
leaves racing downwards

My Haiku Contribution to the Fandango Word of the Day Challenge

Hope

This poem is my contribution to the Fandango Word of the Day Challenge, “outcome”.

in this time of rage
I seek an outcome of hope
living gracefully

Wednesday Morning

dawn moves through the clouds
hope ripples through the puddles
tea’s steam awakens

A Seattle autumn morning, rainy and cool. Strange senses of home.

Wednesday morning Haiku

dawn moves through the clouds
hope ripples through the puddles
tea’s steam awakens

I love rainy Seattle mornings. Even in these insane times.

An Evening Haiku

through the evening rain

beyond the coming darkness

sun in the future

Waking at Night

only in the night
within it’s gift of darkness
can we see starlight

Autumn Leaves At Sunset

night sings quietly
leaves continuing to fall
wind chimes at sunset

Some Thoughts On Being A 21st Century Student

I have a few favorite tools that really make school more effective. One: I get my textbooks on Kindle. I have the Kindle app on my computer, plus I have it on my phone and iPad. Having my books wherever I find myself is great. Plus, I can hit ctrl+F and search the whole book quickly. This has been really helpful when I’m struggling to remember “that one command”.

Also, I have Grammarly’s app installed. Being able to spell and grammar check in the browser is a great time saver.

Lastly, I love using Evernote to take notes. I often use paper, and also the note feature within the Kindle apps. But I can scan the papers, and import the Kindle notes, so all of them are in Evernote. Again, being able to search is powerful, and being able to review whenever I have a few minutes of downtime is great.

A Happy Halloween Haiku
