Wednesday, traveling at high speed: A Haiku

Wednesday had gone past

So very much has been done

Longing for the trees

Awakened, now returning to sleep

Awakened briefly
Activity around me
Now, again, silence

Monday’s Mania: A Haiku

Monday’s mania
Subdued by evening calmness
Autumn night’s stillness


Frenetic days:

I’m not fond of them.

Such is life.

Respond, work,

Move along.

Violence Bets Violence

A message from the bishop of my Synod in response to the recent horror in Las Vegas :

Violence begets violence.
Peace begets peace!
We must be about peace.
+ Bishop Kirby Unti

 

I found this a perfectly poetical statement, and a powerful part of his email introducing this letter.

Monday Morning Haiku: Boundaries

​It is important

To respect people’s boundaries

Not all hugs are safe

The Henson exhibit at Seattle’s MoPop

Two beings I’ve long known

Moments from my childhood

Muppets filled my dreams

A Haiku for #Seattle’s #Gumwall

This eclectic spot

Seattle’s famous gumball

Well worn paving stones

Seattle’s Rain Returns


Though late

I am not sleepy

I sit here, listening

Rain falls upon my roof

Forever, it seems, 

I’ve loved that sound

Walking In Seattle

Those evenings at dusk
Fashionable, Seattle style
Nights in my city
