This Fitful Night

​Looking skyward

While dawn approaches

Waiting for this fitful night

To finally end

A Choice: Rage or Peace. Today’s #Haiku

Ugliness rises
And I must choose rage or peace
I seek out beauty

Today’s #Haiku: April 9, 2019

There are days we dread 

At least I can see them come 

These dark clouds moving 

April 8, 2019: #Haiku

Walking down this trail
Raindrops passing through the trees
Seattle’s springtime

Monday morning #Haiku

Awakened pre-dawn 

My mind racing with ideas

New blossoms have come 


May your Monday start an  effective and rewarding week.

A Haiku From This Evening’s Walk

The water’s stillness

With the sun moving westward

Spring’s daylight now ends


I live about 30 miles north of Seattle. I adore walking along the Edmonds waterfront. Many of my shots posted here are from this small city. My history here goes back a few generations. Simply walking here brings forth memories of cousins, grandparents.

This Morning’s Sunrise: A #Haiku

Today’s #Haiku: April 6, 2019

Spring is clearly here

Daffodils precede tulips

I walk in the rain

Haiku: April 5, 2019

A day of motion
Finally I can find rest
The sun through blossoms

Safety 

His soul hides

Deep within old leather covers 

Safe upon the shelf 

Sometimes pulled down 

Blowing dust free 

Forgotten poems read 

In the fading light 

Of dusk
