Today’s #Haiku, #Spring Arrives Amidst #Covid19

though we sit indoors

birds’ harmonies reach my ear

spring has still arrived

The seasons care not for the concerns of humanity. Spring arrives no matter our preparedness, nor our desires. Life continues its motion.

I hope this finds you healthy and safe. How are you adapting to our new life?

Saturday Morning Haiku

wind chimes

early morning darkness

birds sing to my tea


Everyone else is asleep in my house. I’m very fond of these quiet moments. I hope all of you are safe and healthy. 

Sidewalk in Black & White

my movement is life
concrete underneath my feet
sunlight through the clouds

Shot the photo while on a walk near home, then edited in Instagram. Original is color, but black and white just felt right.

Views from today’s walk

Met him on our coronavirus walk. Note we’re socially distant.

suburban walking
humor in this time of fear
crows laughing boldly

More signs of springtime
As I walk in the sunlight

Spring Moves Forward

spring moving forward
flowers carefree in the sun
bees ignore my gaze

Afternoon Flowers: A Haiku

springtime’s presence here
flower’s garish excesses
sunlight fights viri

The First Morning Of Spring

First morning of spring, 2020

first morning of spring
sunlight moving through the trees
tea warms my soul

Crocuses in Spring

Crocuses in spring

the warmth of daylight
crocuses heralding spring
now songbirds slumber

A Spring Walk

suburban sunlight
neighbors socially distant
feeling springtime’s close
