a crisp autumn walk
under the joyful blue sky
leaves slowly falling
Facing Forward
I adore the simplicity, as well as the challenge of Haiku. The constraints focus my mind, seeking out the essence of the moment, feeling, notion, distilling it to brilliant singularity.

a crisp autumn walk
under the joyful blue sky
leaves slowly falling

under autumn leaves
sunlight drifting through the mists
crows singing their joys

ah, lovely sunlight!
this day on the waterfront
this break in the rain

the reddening leaves autumn's transformation starts amidst the rainfall

glorious red leaves
autumn breezes gently brush
this life giving rain

Autumn has fully arrived in Seattle. Rain and mist dominate the day. For me, this is calming. This is beautiful.
early autumn rain
birds delight in fresh berries
slowly I sip tea

in this autumn rain flowers feel the grasp of time morning moving past

in this gentle breeze reddened leaves dance graceful in the morning mist
It’s been a busy week. I started fall quarter and ended up with a stomach bug. Those two items sucked up the majority of my time. I’ll have more updates shortly.
I hope everyone of you is well and that you’re feeling refreshed and re-energized.

rain upon my face joyous autumnal breezes all the earth refreshed

ferocious rain falls
battering leaves and flowers
days fade into night
