Always in a Rush

Always in a Rush, a Haiku

always in a rush –
sunlight drifts across the trees
raindrops upon roofs

Wrote this one early this morning as part of Baffled’s Haiku Challenge (on Twitter). I appreciate his daily challenges, forcing me to stretch my mind. Also, these haiku are a great way to keep my Adobe skills sharp. I create most of my posts right now with Adobe Spark.

Today’s desire: capture the feeling of a cold, dark, winter’s morning in Seattle. Today was dreary and damp, hence the focus. I opted for the Playfair font. A unique font, with understated serifs.

Walking at Night: a Haiku

feet upon pavement
headlights move through the darkness
facelessly pass by

Walking last night, stepping over and around puddles, remembering so many other nights. An element of this Seattle life.

Haiku: December 9, 2020


amidst the daylight
the sky holding my gaze
the rain speaks loudly

A Stars Haiku

Stars Haiku

stars to the left
and to the right forever
still brings me wonder

A Thanksgiving Haiku

A Thanksgiving Haiku

friends and family
embracing gratitude
embracing joy

I hope your Thanksgiving was refreshing and filled with gratitude.

An Autumn Day

sunlight from the south
the graceful autumnal air
dances through the trees

It’s been a crazy few days. It felt good to write today.

Walking Through The Leaves

I walk through the leaves
feeling the wind in my hair
the jays cheer for sun

Amidst The Trees

amidst the trees
moving through the mist
rain starts to fall

Another rainy, autumn day near Seattle. I was able to get out from behind my desk for a little while, abruptly, when I noticed a dryish patch in the day. Yet again, I almost got home before the rain started to fall. Fortunately, I managed to avoid getting too wet. Fortunately.

Walking in the Rain

Moving through the leaves
As the rain begins to fall
These autumnal strolls

Though I got drenched, I did get a poem out of it.
