In the morning mist
The waves dancing on the sand
Summer’s gaze will win

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.
An early evening haiku
With darkness falling
The sun shining from down low
Easily through trees
Homewards: tonight’s haiku
As we move homewards
Across the San Juan Islands
Summer’s Joy’s awake
Hiking Lopez Island’s Iceberg Point
Within this forest
Passing all this Spanish moss
A cool summer’s day
Lopez Island: A Haiku
Awake this morning
And this view over the bay
Resetting my soul
The Sky Over Lopez Island
In this summer’s sky
With this glorious calmness
I ponder deeply

Remembering: a haiku about suicide’s fallout
His smile in my mind
A friend’s son just took his life
These clouds are broken
My heart is heavy today. We can be so cruel sometimes, especially with ourselves. If you are struggling with suicidal thoughts please know you are not alone and that there are people who will help.

An afternoon walk
The afternoon sun
Warm as we move to evening
My feet keep moving
It’s Monday morning: what will you do?
Another week begins
Now, what are you going to do
To make yourself grow?
Rage and Invective: A Haiku
In this boiling sea
Filled with rage and invective
How can we find peace?
