Today’s Haiku: December 17, 2024

Facing Forward
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.

clouds vibrant motion
brushing against the full moon
storms pass at nightfall
walking near the shore
under the autumnal dusk
glorious colors


I wrote this one a few nights ago, after getting this shot of the Super Moon on my phone. It delighted me so.
autumn moon
gracing the cool sky
blessed silence

evening rainfall
flowing from a day of rain
into a calm night
Twas a rain filled day. Shifting between downpours, mists, and even a few moments of dryness with dark clouds
Crafted this image on Canva. I thought this font was fun. (It’s called Tan Pearl if you’re curious.)
I hope this finds you well.


It’s a rather drippy day here in greater Seattle, which I’m rather fond of. I find them tranquil and rejuvenating, especially with some coffee and a good book.
May your day feed your soul.


the abyss’ edge
I finally stare within
seeing myself stare back

the newest of nights
moon rises above the trees
fresh ink upon my page
This came to me as I was winding down for bed last night.
I hope each of you has a wonderful week.
