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.

As I move through dusk
The cool darkness comforts me
From the past’s echos
September moves in
sunlit days becoming rare
the scent of autumn
Morning sunlight
Under the cool autumn breeze
I resist waking
A lovely autumn morning in Seattle. Blue skies, mostly white clouds, though there are a few darker ones. The demands of my day finally rouse me. My tea welcomes me back to life.
the ocean’s motion
waves moving across the earth
continuously
Here is my contribution to the Word of the Day Challenge. Today’s word is “wave”. Having spent so much of my life near the ocean, this is the first place my mind went. I did think a bit about writing about physics, but, well, I decided oceans were more lovely.

p style=”font-family:"font-size:16px;”>Hints of sunlight through the clouds

p style=”font-family:"font-size:16px;”>Wind chimes play softly
rain-laden dark clouds
Seattle’s signs of autumn
leaves starting to change
a crane fly’s motion
under the bathroom lights
returned to freedom
clouds across the sky
dancing upon mountain tops
my grandmother’s voice
the bees speak in code
can we hope to understand
secrets of petals?
