Near Spring 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.
A Daylight Savings Time Haiku
sunlight to the east
springtime deceiving our clocks
the air, cold and dry
Another step closer to spring.
A Rainy Day Haiku
rain induced darkness
overhead clouds bring dampness
winter’s grip still hurts
Monday Morning Meditation
Mondays are a gift
Beginnings: great potential
How will you use it?
Failed Motion: Tonight’s Haiku
New Opportunities
life’s changes

cherry blossoms
I saw these blooms at Edmonds Community College today. I am moving forward with my career transition plan. My current position ends Friday, and I’ve grown weary of being let go all the time. So I’m going to study Web Design and Development. This excites me deeply.
Forward, always moving forward.
A haiku from this evening’s walk
moving through darkness
quiet, my old companion
graceful solitude
Cherry Blossoms
ah, cherry blossoms!
hints that spring is almost here
bold chattering birds
Sunset, February 16, 2020
sunset through mountains
gulls climbing skyward with grace
branches still barren
Brunch in #Edmonds
A light mist outside
Delightfully warm within
My grandfather’s voice
My grandparents started coming to Edmonds’ Pancake Haus when it opened, and remained faithful customers til the end. My wife and I go somewhat regularly, enough that the staff recognize our son and ask about him. This connection brings me joy.
Do have any place with similar connections?
