June 6, 2020: Morning Haiku

freshest morning light

brightening the clouds at dawn

puddles of songbirds

Watching dawn move on a cloudy morning, light comes through the clouds slowly, gently. The firs brighten, birds wake, yet humanity’s quiet.

The world still convulses, desperate for justice. A new day, an opportunity for change, for hope, for peace.

June 5, Haiku : Trampled Trust

empty, hollow words

unable to find healing

trust that’s been trampled

Rain in the Moonlight

rain atop the roof

calm, staccato memories

droplets of moonbeams 

Haiku: May 29, 2020

blossoms falling

bees move to the next bloom

my feet on concrete

This evening’s haiku, May 28, 2020

blossom petals fall

with their vibrant, violet hues

hinting at summer

Against all odds, I hold onto hope. Hard in this mad , rage-filled world.

An evening haiku : May 27, 2020

the sun through the trees
lovely warmth upon my skin
while junkos fly past

My evening walks have been a key element of my sanity during these trying times. The weather’s been lovely, so this walk has been truly wonderful.

This morning’s haiku: this age of rage

in this time of rage

invective traded like cash

poetry’s my peace


Checked Twitter this morning. So much rage. I’m not sure there’s not anyone without veins bulging nor invective dripping from their lips, a poison so sweet, so deadly. 

I’m glad I have this little garden on the internet, where I can delight in life and growth, not what’s been burned beyond recognition.

A Haiku Response To The Word of the Day Challenge

My contribution to today’s Word of the Day Challenge: Sand. I, being me, opt for a haiku.

memories of sand
I love the smell of the beach
the winds from the west

Raindrops on Petals

raindrops on petals
the bees now seeking shelter
spots on my glasses
