Today’s Word of the Day challenge is “Acid“. I found this pretty challenging. Finally, I came up with the notion below.

like a strong acid
such a corrosive people
crafting so much pain

iconic machinery
wind from the ocean

A Haiku Response To The Word of the Day Challenge

My contribution to today’s Word of the Day Challenge: Sand. I, being me, opt for a haiku.

memories of sand
I love the smell of the beach
the winds from the west

Raindrops on Petals

raindrops on petals
the bees now seeking shelter
spots on my glasses

Haiku Response: May 20, 2020

This photo called to me for a haiku, and I was delighted to oblige.

the sun slips below
warm blazing orange blankets
when will the stars dance?

Wednesday Morning Haiku

in this morning calm

do not rush; embrace the calm

near the feasting bees

Ah, the beauty of mornings. No one else awake, the sun rising, hidden by trees and clouds. A perfect Seattle morning…for me, at least. 

A Sea Of Bits

in this sea of bits

the face of God floating by

through digital mists

A Dark, Rainy Night Haiku

the sound of the rain
rolling through the night’s darkness
bending the flowers

Sunset on my Walk: Tonight’s Haiku

Moving through my neighborhood, a suburb of Seattle, as the sun does as it must. Gravity’s handiwork across this sky. Rain started to fall as I neared home.

below the sunset
and the glorious red sky
soon the songbirds sleep

A haiku from this evening’s walk

below the sunset

and the glorious red sky

soon the songbirds sleep

Moving through my neighborhood, a suburb of Seattle, as the sun does as it must. Gravity’s handiwork across this sky. Rain started to fall as I neared home.
