with dusk descending
and gently fading sunlight
flowers get their fill
A haiku at dusk

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.
Today’s Morning Haiku
with my morning tea
the gentlest of breezes
sunlight through the clouds
I love calm mornings. Today, Seattle’s weather seems to be pivoting from rain to partially cloudy. Blue skies punctuated with white clouds. Summer’s heat abated, whether temporarily or for the rest of the year is uncertain, but I’ll take the respite.
Autumn Approaches
orange and red leaves
as i gaze out my window
glories of autumn
The maple just outside my office window already shows autumn colors. Of course, September approaches quickly. Less than a week (Sunday) brings the new month. As tempting as it might be to make some reference to the passing of time, it doesn’t feel very creative.
Haiku: August, 25, 2024
after the rainfall
sunlight moves from behind clouds
summer reaches far
An evening haiku: August 22, 2024
grace consumes the night
within this silent darkness
healing commences
Tonight’s Haiku
evening light descends
boisterous colors emerge
glory of flowers
This morning’s haiku
in the early morn
long before the birds arise
listening for grace
Summer flowers: a haiku
as the daylight fades
the dahlia glows in the sunlight
bringing the bees joy
A summer haiku
quiet summer's walk
I lift my gaze to the sky
and feel life's wonder
An evening haiku
beads upon petals
ghosts of the recent rainfall
then sunlight returns
Saw this flower while walking around town recently. I loved it and wanted to share.
I hope and well with all of you.
