A Photo Inspired Haiku

joyful floral scents
moments of urban beauty soon,
war’s horrors rise

I wrote this haiku after seeing the post below. Such a lovely photo coming a breath before the horror of World War I.

Tonight’s Haiku, May 1, 2020

sunlight has faded I’m facing infinity a star through the clouds

A Spring Haiku, April 29, 2020

the motion of spring
bold new life; cherry blossoms
slowly fall to earth

gazing at the moon

I touch the lake; ripples form

across the night’s sky

Haiku, Monday Morning, April 27, 2020

This bouquet of spring

A celebration of life

Sunlight through the trees

Can you believe that this is the last Monday in April? May first is Friday! I noticed that the cherry blossoms are already starting to be shed, the last trees now filled with blossoms. Spring now fully present, at least in Seattle. 

I hope this finds you safe and well. 

Tonight’s Haiku: April 26, 2020

as night has fallen

the cool rain starts falling

trees move in the breeze

A reasonably pleasant spring day, high clouds and lacking in rain. Perhaps a bit muggy as the air was still. As the sun set, the breeze picked up. Once night fell. The rain started. Now, this is Seattle. So, not a downpour, but the well known Seattle drip.

I remained indoors most of the day. Got out for a roughly one hour walk, then grabbed dinner at the nearby 5 Guys. And then back to quarantine.

How’s it going where you are?

as the sun descends
sunlight pushing through the trees
the clouds dream of me

Rain Begins To Fall: A Haiku

the clouds get darker
rain starts to fall on my face
and birds quiet now

A Friday Morning Haiku

It’s a quiet, grey morning here in Seattle. Journaling to start day, then to my desk to get done work done. How’s your quarantined life going?

Another photo from my walks. This tree really impressed and delighted me, especially with the fading light.

Another damp day in quarantine here in Seattle. How’d you day go?
