cold morning
rain gently taps
the day awakens
A Seattle Morning 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.
Winter in Seattle: A Haiku
longing for sunlight
amid the dampness and cold
childhood memories
My childhood had some glorious moments in the tropics, when I lived in the Philippines. Dark, dreary drippy days sometimes bring forth a longing for those days.
An Edmonds Haiku
Along the water
Feeling the grace of motion
Rippling light waves
Sunday Night Haiku
Today’s Haiku: Dawn in Bothell
Light across the sky
Beauty of Seattle’s sky
Patience of flowers
A rainy Tuesday Haiku
pattering outside
gutters groan quite loudly
blessing my rain gear
Well, quite the rain to wake up to. Not monsoon like, but still rather heavy.
I hope your Tuesday meets all your goals and desires.
A windy Edmonds day
southern wind challenges
trees bending with the waves
seagulls’ airborne dance
A Piano: Tonight’s Haiku
gentle touch of keys
movement of notes through the air
echoes of children
Today we journeyed down into Seattle’s University district. We ducked into the University Heights Community Center, which, decades ago was the elementary school my father and several of my uncles attended. I considered the thousands of children who passed through, their hopes, dreams and heartaches. Thus I connected to my history.
Today’s Seattle Haiku
The sky to the west
The rain, yet again, has passed
Crows follow a hawk
Collecting My Thoughts
collecting my thoughts
seeking an organized mind
fill my life with joy
