Tonight’s Haiku

another spring day 
cherry blossoms scattering
fading memories

Wrote this one early this morning. Created this image in Canva.

Anyway, thanks for reading.

Early morning haiku

sleep’s evasive
the early morning darkness
hiding raindrops


Yeah, I should be asleep,

I’d prefer to be asleep

Yet that is not

My reality.

Tonight’s Haiku

the sunlight fading
while the grace of spring flowers
bursts upon the trees

Starting the day

awakened by self-doubt

criticizing all I've done

so I face within

resisting these words

embracing all that I am

keep moving forward


Today’s Haiku

haiku text:
clouds dancing, moving to the north, healing spring rains.

This is a photo I took a few weeks ago on my Google Pixel, and the post below (Instagram) inspired me to write something today:

It’s funny to me how I feel compelled to justify my work, my writing, photography, poetry. Really, I’m supposed to monetize EVERYTHING! If it’s not generating income, or promoting my business, then I shouldn’t do it. However, I know, in my heart, that I need to create stuff.

I feel compelled to post daily, but I’m hamstrung by the needs above, as well as the larger issues of imposter syndrome and all that.

So, I took the photo above and added the haiku in Canva. I do enjoy that, but I think I need to explore other tools besides Canva. Heck, maybe I need to start doing these in Photoshop again. Get those skills back up.

An evening haiku

streetlight’s reflection
ripples across the puddles
windchime’s gently tones

Tonight’s Haiku: February 22, 2025

within the darkness 
listening to the rainfall
the night's progression

Tonight’s Haiku: February 11, 2025


in the bitter cold
the night moving with such grace
soon dawn approaches

Daily haiku: February 9, 2025

a few hints of snow
guarded by the bitter cold
graced by the starlight

Haiku: February 8, 2025

sunlight's gentle way
moving slowly over snow
clouds cover the sky


Another day with snow. This snow, though, has settled in. Nothing new during the day.

I created this in Canva, which is a lot of fun.
