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?
A Haiku For A Summer’s Evening
The day’s heat lingers
Sunlight blocked by the mountains
Summer’s kind mercies
It was a warm one today. Especially by Seattle standards. Got some walking in, a little shopping, farmers market time, chatting friends…all things that build connection and community.
The Flower’s Voice
As summer begins
Plenty of sunshine and warmth
A flower’s voice heard
Tonight’s haiku: about seeking tranquility
I stand in the night
Breathing against all my fears
Tranquility sought
Tonight I’m seeking to calm my fears. My meditations upon tranquility are focusing on actually completing things.
Blossoms from Buds
Standing in sunlight
Buds changing into blossoms
Spring’s evolution
A haiku about seasons, change and a tad bit about love
This flower’s beauty
Transformative and quite brief
New life comes through change
This world burns with negative energy. Fear, distrust and rage so very of this world. I seek yo mollify that. I wonder if, perhaps, through poems and a bit of compassion, maybe I can help humanity grow its connection to itself. I see that as out species’ path to survival.
May each of you always find beauty and joy in life.
Where wind and wave collide
With wind blowing strong
These bold and daring people
Weren’t cowed by this storm
I wrote this haiku watching these two ignore cold and rain, dancing where wind and wave collide.
Birds Awakened
This morning’s still dark
Abrupt noise into silence
Birds have awakened
This morning’s first birdsong came while I was dosing. Jarring enough to yank my attention. Does the first bird to speak get the early worm? Ot, perhaps, he gets the girl?
Sun Stretched Upon The Cold Wind
The sun stretches me
Solar motion elongates
Sun in brutal cold
Walking along the Edmonds Waterfront. With the strong wind from the north, the air was brisk, cold. Bright and sunny later in the day, which made our mid-afternoon walk much more pleasant.
