Tonight’s Haiku: Breaking Focus, Seeing Autumn

Focusing forwards
Sunlight grabs my attention
And I see fall’s leaves

It’s so easy to get lost in my thoughts. A little flare of sunlight caught my gaze, broke the focus, and I was able to see autumn’s glory right next to me.

An Autumn Afternoon Walk

Walking in the sun

Before winter’s rage arrives

A tranquil respite

A Trip To Whidbey Island: A Haiku

A morning journey 

Off to the nearby island 

With people I love 

Spent the morning over in Whidbey Island watching a cross country regional competition. I’ve known many of these kids their whole lives, so there a certain poignancy.

Looking nightward

In today’s cold fog: a haiku

In today’s cold fog

Sunlight never reached the ground 

Winter approaches 

An Autumn Night At The Shore

Underneath the moon

And this glorious sunset

Autumnal beauty

A Rainy Night: Tonight’s Haiku 

Outside it is dark 

Tapping sound from my drain spout 

Water flowing down 

This evening’s walk

Went walking today

Along my favorite shoreline

As the sun moved low


One of my favorite things is to walk along the waterfront in Edmonds, WA. Tonight I include a few photos I took along the way.

Outside My Window

Outside my window
Through the darkness of this night
Honeysuckle blooms

A #midnight #haiku

In this deep darkness
As this day transformed to new
This eerie silence?
