A Friday Afternoon Sight

afternoon motion
underneath the hazy sky
magestic fungus

Saw this gem on my afternoon walk. I’m fond of toadstools.

Danny Elfman’s Creepy New Song “Happy”, Just In Time For Halloween

Danny Elfman: Happy

I’m a fan of much of Danny Elfman’s work. Oingo Boingo and The Nightmare Before Christmas only touch the surface. Reading in Nerdist that he released a new pop song made my morning wonderful. Perfectly creepy vibe for the days before Halloween. Check it out below! (caveat: there are a fair number of NSFW words).


Also, as tomorrow’s Halloween, check out my “An Atypical Halloween” playlist. You will NOT find Monster Mash there! I try to keep things trope-free.

Friday morning haiku

a rip in the sky
dreams fall upon the mountains
tinting the clouds red

Wishing you a wonderful Friday.

A Night Haiku

I embrace the night

rain flows from forgotten roofs

safe inside my coat

A Wednesday Morning Meditation

what does the sun risk

climbing up eastern mountains

quiet autumn morn

Is a rather cool autumn morning just north of Seattle. Grey skies filtering sunlight. For me, this is peaceful and calm.

How is you Wednesday shaping up?

A good night haiku

daylight fading

street lamps blink on

birds now silent


I delight in the night. Flickering streetlights are their own poems, no?

Monday Morning Meditation

dawn’s quiet ascent

gracefully over mountains

autumn morning chill

Autumn Daisies

though expecting rain
the daisies are unimpressed
within the cool air

On my walk I noticed these fellows resisting autumn’s influence. Though lots of rain predicted for today, it remained remarkably dry. These daisies seem rather pleased.

An Autumn Haiku

this fading sunlight
breeze stirring the fallen leaves
memories drift past

Balmorhea’s Masollan

Balmorhea

I discovered Balmorhea a few years ago but only came across “Masollan” recently (earlier this year). I’ve become very fond of it. The instrumentation is exquisite. Electric guitar and bass with drums, violin, cello, and upright bass? I find it delightful. The ethereal way the melody floats above the harmony vibrates within my soul.
