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.
who can disparage
the wind’s grace within the sky
bird’s dance on the wing
This is my response to the Fandango Word Of The Day Challenge: “disparage”. One of my photos taken earlier this week, image edited in Adobe Spark, font Lora Regular.
within spring’s sunlight
trees moving so gracefully
songbirds uncaring
springtime is nearing
flowers eating the sunshine
blown by the cool breeze
walking in the rain
which soon becomes a strong wind
and then it’s sunshine
underneath the sun
my soul lifted by it’s grace
as spring approaches
Took this photo on a recent walk. It’s been quite lovely the past few days here in Seattle. Though we still have a few days until spring officially begins, it’s presence is felt. And I’ve seen other signs of spring: trees, especially cherry trees, are starting to blossom. Winter’s grip, around here at least, seems to have weakened, perhaps even released. We can hope, at least.
underneath sunlight
springtime’s grace flows through the firs
still need my jacket
Today’s sunlight was very welcome. I’ve been fighting some kind of “bug” since Tuesday night. The worst was Wednesday, but I’m still lacking energy. I was able to get a walk in this after, and get plenty of school stuff done, but I’m now wiped out. I expect to be near 100% by tomorrow, though.
resisting waking
sunlight reaches my window
life keeps on moving
Another morning, life keeps moving. Onwards…
set under the clouds
my city moves through the rain
while fueled by coffee
A rainy day here, just north of Seattle. One that brings me memories of northwestern Oregon. The winter rains in Astoria where my feet were my main mode of transportation. I guess that came from the heavy weight of the rain drops along with their coldness.

winter’s grip loosening
with the clouds drifting eastward
wonder of birdsong
as crocuses bloom
February nearly done
the air still quite cool
Flowers are pushing their way above the soil. Yet most of the trees remain barren. But one I saw today has a riot of small blossoms. Change continues, as it does.
