sunset in Edmonds
cold wind blowing from the west
brilliant colors sing

Snow Upon Firs, Today’s Haiku

Snow Upon Firs: A Haiku

silence of midnight
celebrate tranquility
snow upon the firs

Tuesday morning haiku, December 23, 2020

morning darkness

unwanted wakefulness;

listening to the rain

A winter morning

raindrops sing
a melancholy tune
my tea cup cools

December 19, 2020: Rainy Day Haiku

A Rainy Day Haiku

this December day
under my feet cold ripples
keep moving forward

Cold, rainy day. Ripples in the puddles. For me, this means home. What about you?

Always in a Rush

Always in a Rush, a Haiku

always in a rush –
sunlight drifts across the trees
raindrops upon roofs

Wrote this one early this morning as part of Baffled’s Haiku Challenge (on Twitter). I appreciate his daily challenges, forcing me to stretch my mind. Also, these haiku are a great way to keep my Adobe skills sharp. I create most of my posts right now with Adobe Spark.

Today’s desire: capture the feeling of a cold, dark, winter’s morning in Seattle. Today was dreary and damp, hence the focus. I opted for the Playfair font. A unique font, with understated serifs.

Walking at Night: a Haiku

feet upon pavement
headlights move through the darkness
facelessly pass by

Walking last night, stepping over and around puddles, remembering so many other nights. An element of this Seattle life.

Haiku, December 13, 2020

looking up at dusk
the stars starting to appear
the fog of my breath

Haiku: December 9, 2020


amidst the daylight
the sky holding my gaze
the rain speaks loudly

A Rainy Afternoon Walk

walking through the mist
rain-soaked clothes cooling my skin
memories of sun
