A Thanksgiving Haiku
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.
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
Red Painted
in the fading light
walking amongst the trees
red painted clouds
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.
An Autumn Sunday Morning
autumnal daylight
crisp, cool air awakens me
I reach for my tea
I woke to a lovely autumn morning. The rain holding off until a convenient time opens up possibilities. Yet, I expect to spend most of the day in front of a computer.
The light has faded
I see my breath by porch light
The song of raindrops
A cool, drearily rainy end to the day. Chilled into discomfort, but not pain, only the mildest of inconveniences. But December approaches quickly, even though we still have trees with leaves on them.
Adept: A Haiku
My response to today’s Fandango’s Word Of The Day Challenge. Today’s word: adept.
words flow from keystrokes
there are times I feel adept
rain cools my ego
Autumn
autumn progresses
but the trees are not yet bare
this briskly cold morn
I took this photo while out on my walk yesterday. My fondness for autumn soothes me in these angry times.
