Sunlight’s holding back
Eastern mountains soon will glow
As this day begins
Category: Haiku
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.
Please See Your Beauty
Please see your beauty
Grace flowing fast from your soul
With the snow falling
LISTENING To Music
As youth I chose
To deeply explore music
Each word critical
Music is critical to me. For my teenage years, I focused my study there. Well, as best as I could focus at that age. Music means so very much to me. Understanding the way lyrics, melody and harmony intersect for the good of the story carried great value.
I seek to recapture that. Spent some time this morning enjoying it again. Until life’s demands intruded. Soon, I’ll return. These delights critical to my soul.
A Reflection Upon Rage

We need to face each other
The birds sing for all
With so much rage, how do we grow and nurture, especially the “others”?
Daily Prompt: Astral, A Haiku
Astral projection
Moves across the universe
Yet our rain still falls
Today’s Daily Prompt: Assay
For so great a mind
Those who understand “Assay”
Others are tested
Sun Stretched Upon The Cold Wind
The sun stretches me
Solar motion elongates
Sun in brutal cold
Walking along the Edmonds Waterfront. With the strong wind from the north, the air was brisk, cold. Bright and sunny later in the day, which made our mid-afternoon walk much more pleasant.
The Rage Engine: A Haiku
Rage’s engine roars
A machine that churns out death
While rotting out souls
Seems this is the favorite piece of equipment to operate anymore.
A Friday Night In The Suburbs
Birds break the silence
No cares for propriety
Suburbia’s charms
I hope your Friday night we lovely. Tis now time for slumber to dominate.
As I Seek To Simplify
Simplifying life
This quest I’m launching upon
Birds fly in the rain
