Winter’s Motion

this winter’s motion
sunlight climbing through the sky
crocuses blooming

Through the Rainfall

through the rainfall
as it changes to snow
the birds now confused

Found this blossom during my walk the other day. More signs that spring is almost here. Yet today we had rain, wind, snow and hail. It was quite a day, weather – wise.

A Saturday Morning Haiku

resisting waking

sunlight reaches my window

life keeps on moving

Another morning, life keeps moving. Onwards…

Under the Clouds

Under the Clouds

set under the clouds
my city moves through the rain
while fueled by coffee


A rainy day here, just north of Seattle. One that brings me memories of northwestern Oregon. The winter rains in Astoria where my feet were my main mode of transportation. I guess that came from the heavy weight of the rain drops along with their coldness.

A morning haiku

upon the treetop
and the chill of morning fog
we are being observed


Moving slowly from winter to spring. A foggy morning, rains arriving later, shortly after the air warms in spring sunlight.

Newness

winter’s grip loosening
with the clouds drifting eastward
wonder of birdsong

Hints of Spring

as crocuses bloom
February nearly done
the air still quite cool

Flowers are pushing their way above the soil. Yet most of the trees remain barren. But one I saw today has a riot of small blossoms. Change continues, as it does.

Haiku Response To Today’s FOWC

one upon the wire
the crow’s colleague in the trash
staunchest of allies

Here’s my contribution to the Fandango Word of the Day Challenge: Staunch.

Friday Morning Haiku

spring flowers awake
striving for the blessed sun
such problems they solve

Awoke to Birdsong

awoke to birdsong
slowly the sun rises
hinting at springtime

The birds were quite boisterous this morning. Looks like spring is nearly here. Though this hasn’t been that burial of a winter around here, I am ready for spring. Are you?
