A Seahawks Haiku

Fans with explosives
The Seahawks have a new win
Evening distortions

Tonight’s haiku is inspired by my neighbors who are loudly celebrating the Seahawks win.

Is This Gary Snyder or Obi Wan Kenobi?

Maybe I’m just silly, but I see similarities here. Maybe I like Snyder so much because he’s a Jedi Master?

#Insecurities: A #Haiku

Meditating on things that hamper growth. Insecurities fill that for me. Especially as they’re often unfounded and irrational, to the point of annoyance. Well, that’s how I feel when I can step back and look set them rationally. 

Writing is one way I cope. Putting them down on paper helps me deeply. 

Also, this shows me the power of daily affirmations. Taking the time to deliberately challenge these destructive mental models…actually, proactively challenging them, is important. Stay ahead of the corrosion. 

A Happy Birthday Haiku

A Happy Birthday Haiku
A Happy Birthday to Me Haiku!

As I expect most of you know, I have a thing for writing haiku. I actually have a whole blog dedicated to them. They’re fun and packed with meaning in such a small package.

Since today’s my birthday, it seemed like a fun subject.

Anyway, enjoy! And enjoy the day. Seattle’s looking to have quite a lovely one.

A Seattle Autumn: A Haiku

As I look skyward

The memories fill my mind

Seattle’s autumns

A #Monday Morning #Haiku

It’s Monday morning. Are you ready to face the week? Well,I’m rooting for you! 

This autumn night: tonight’s #haiku

Leaves in the darkness
As the trees prepare to sleep
Stars peeking through clouds

Today definitely felt like autumn. Wearing sweaters, finding my gloves and scarves, all signs the fall is here. For me, it’s a happy feeling. What about you?

Devouring Rage

We devour rage

And it seeps into our bones

One tweet at a time 

A meditation on modern culture. Am I off base? What do you think?

My Daily Haiku, September 28

My feet are moving
I delight in the darkness
A sense of calmness
