Time to Rise

​Beautiful words 

Embrace my mind 

Yet life demands 

My attention

The Paradigm of Rage

I reject the paradigm of rage

Cherry Blossoms at UW

These cherry blossoms

Thousands of people descend

Seattle’s springtime

Tonight’s Haiku: An Evening Walk

Walking near the shore

Sunlight gracefully setting

My mind is swirling

It’s been a rough couple of days. A few moments of peace were very welcome. Walking and writing poetry connect me to the greater grace of the universe. And I’m grateful.

I’m grateful for you, too, dear readers. The likes and comments make me feel like I add value to your lives with my shaped words. So, thank you for reading, liking and commenting! It lightens the heavier loads in my life.

Thoughts I do not want to think

My mind is racing

Thoughts I do not want to think

I’m deeply weary

Beauty

I think of beauty
There are so many choices
Tell me you love

Wednesday Morning Haiku 

At the week’s middle 

My alarm’s song is calling 

I love the snooze bar 

I love sewing puns
Though they often needle me
I’m left in stitches

Dastardly Viri 

I’ve grown quite weary 

Of these viri within me

Minute yet brutal

Releasing Perfection

Perfection released

Forever seeking to grow

Gentle humbleness 

There’s a power in humility. Slowly I’m growing forward.
