IT Professional & Seattle Guy
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.
Yes, I am awake
And the birds sing with vigor
Dawn has not yet come
I’m amazed at the number of birds singing right now. Well, I think one of the loudest sounds is an insect, but I digress. It’s quite boisterous. Oddly, as daylight comes their sounds will quiet. Perhaps just supplanted by human noise. Perhaps.
My face looking back
Before my Doppelgänger
Which one is evil?
Our hearts torture us
Pronouncing us quite guilty
Anxiety’s cruel

The day’s heat fading
Sun obscured by these fir trees
Tasks finally done
This evening is done. Didn’t get everything done I wanted to, but I never do. Such is the way of things for me I guess.
I stand in the night
Breathing against all my fears
Tranquility sought
Tonight I’m seeking to calm my fears. My meditations upon tranquility are focusing on actually completing things.
Spring Is bursting with life
Plants calling the bees forward
Seeding the future
This flower is in my garden. Its one of many.
Now I am awake
Listening to the birds sing
Preparing to DO!
Time to move, to grow, act and move. Go and DO something you can brag about.
A productive day
Maintaining my focus helps
Fewer distractions
Another evening
I’ve had my fill of outrage
Time to go to bed
