one upon the wire
the crow’s colleague in the trash
staunchest of allies
Here’s my contribution to the Fandango Word of the Day Challenge: Staunch.
Category: Haiku
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.
Surprised By Sunlight
surprised by sunlight
after so much morning rain
this lightness of being
Winter Berries
winter bares food, too
and the birds know where to seek
so life continues
Found these berries on a recent walk. Summer, of course, bursts with live giving foods for all. Winter, it seems, is more stealthy. But food is present!
Blessings of the Pines

blessings of the pines
drifting on sunlight
Hint’s Of Spring
through the cold air
in the winter sunlight
hints of spring awake
Took the featured image while on my walk today in downtown Edmonds (WA).
Moonlight’s Grace
moonlight’s grace
dancing downwards through the firs
boughs move in the breeze
This photo was shot on my Samsung S9 last night. I am quite pleased with this. Amazing what we can do with our phones!
Ride: A Haiku
in cool winter’s rain
wheels turning as I ride
motion in silence
A Saturday Snowfall
snow falling
memories: moments of cheer
delights of childhood
Snow isn’t quite a joyous a thing as an adult as I found it as a child. Yet the echoes remain.
This is my contribution to today’s Word of the Day challenge, with today’s word “cheery”. I took a little liberty with “cheery”. I hope it cheers you, at least.
A Snowy Day
overnight snow
contrasts with the junkos
dusting the grass
It snowed overnight in the Seattle area. Just enough to cover the grass but not bury it. Tis quite cold this morning.
A Morning Haiku
walking near dawn
amongst the trees
coloring the sky
Some thoughts this winter’s morning. I hope you’re warm and safe.
