Laying bare our fears
Feel the sunlight on our souls
Swaying sunflowers
Laying bare our fears
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.
The bees keep working
Through the intense sun
And air choked with smoke moving
The bees keep working
The air in the greater Seattle has been filled with the smoke of many fires. Carried by the wind miles, a gift to be choked, I guess. The bees seem unperturbed.
An Evening Walk
on this evening walk
with my mind feeding my soul
in this cool night air
Seattle Smoke
in this morning air
destructive rage blowing west
the sepia sky
The featured image is out my front door, trying to capture the smoky haze that’s descended upon Seattle. My lungs hurt a bit, my eyes sting, and I feel for my asthmatic friends and the misery they’re going through.
Tenacious Flowers
tenacious flowers
dancing with the honey bees
as they move skyward
A Walk Amongst The Trees
walking amongst trees
sunlight climbing to the west
motion of my feet
A Near Autumn Haiku
These ghosts of summer
Gently fading into time
This cool morning air
How Far Have We Moved?
how far have we moved?
the sun across the sky
and the moon so close
Created this image in Adobe Spark with a built in template and image. Loved the photo, and thought this haiku worked nicely with it.
Full Moon Haiku
tonight’s full moon
keeping me company
this restless night
Edit: corrected spelling
Time Lurching
as time seems to lurch
between speed and stagnation
flowers move forward
