My contribution to today’s Word of the Day Challenge: Theme.

dawn crawls through trees

red skies setting the theme

hope within the new

Early Morning, June 23, 2020

outside my window

silent darkness 

tranquility

A Haiku At Night

Darkness’ delight

Another night’s gracefulness

Dreams drip from streetlights

The streetlight flickers, the night offers grace, offers sanctuary. !

A Morning Song

Most every day, a song echos in my mind as I wake. The universe often speaks to me in song.

This morning I woke to U2’s “40” and the line “how long, to sing this song?”

My heart troubled by the world’s rage soaked violence, by another bloody day. Will humanity expand out of it’s ego before the world’s burned into obliteration by hubris? Will I get to see that day? How long, my friends. How long?

Wednesday Morning Haiku

in this morning calm

do not rush; embrace the calm

near the feasting bees

Ah, the beauty of mornings. No one else awake, the sun rising, hidden by trees and clouds. A perfect Seattle morning…for me, at least. 

Start each day with a poem

sunlight from the east,
I seek to start every day,
crafting a poem
A morning haiku

sunlight from the east
I seek to start every day
crafting a poem

Good morning everyone! Wishing peace this first Friday of April.

A Leap Day Haiku

I expect this might be better classified as senryu, but I’ll let others decide. 

A Tuesday Morning Haiku

morning darkness

swirls around

memories

One day is done, four more to go as I transition out one career stop into another. Friday’s an ending and a beginning. I’m sad about the ending, but excited about the beginning. I’m opening a new chapter in my life. Blank pages to fill. 

Cherry Blossoms

ah, cherry blossoms!
hints that spring is almost here
bold chattering birds

This morning’s haiku

Inconceivable!

Well, I don’t think that word means

What you think it means

This morning’s haiku was inspired by one of my favorite movies.

Do you know which one?
