So much is hidden
By the velvet cape of night
Not Just what’s frightful
Laying here seeking sleep. Hoping it’s mercy comes soon.

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.
Dastardly Viri
I’ve grown quite weary
Of these viri within me
Minute yet brutal
Day Passes To Night
Day passes to night
The demands of the day pass
Finally some rest
Walking along the shore
Walking in the night
Enjoying this graceful scene
Of the moon’s ascent
One of my favorite places is the waterfront in Edmonds, about 30 miles north of Seattle. I adore walking along the shore. Even tonight in the cold, though there were moments of striking clarity.
Modern Life: A Haiku
Competing demands
Everything highly urgent
Ah, tis modern life!
Oh,this fast paced modern existence! It’s overwhelming at times, isn’t it?
Amidst The Sun And Snow
Under the cold sun
The welcomed sunlight warms me
Amidst bitter cold
Icicles
As they reach downwards
Gravity’s and cold’s teamwork
Strange tranquility
Seattle Snow: A Haiku
More snow has fallen
The ground covered with stillness
Echoes of my past
We had another snowfall yesterday. I love the snow covered earth. A sense of peacefulness fills me. I remember the many snowy days from my youth. Joyous moments; sadness at the losses that brought me here.

As we’re preparing
For Seattle’s next snowstorm
We embrace humor
Another Snow Storm Approaches
Seattle hates snow
As another round comes near
Winter’s cruelty bared
