This morning’s haiku

This morning's haiku

quiet morning rain
the tranquility of clouds
this day beginning


It’s a rainy morning in greater Seattle, which I have a certain fondness for. Memories of dark, calm coffee shops with a book, or a new magazine, and time. It sometimes didn’t feel as beautiful as I can now see. Time brings wisdom, I guess.

Today’s haiku: May 7, 2026

shortly after dusk
the trees embracing silence:
birdsong before dawn

Tonight’s Haiku: April 28, 2026

night air cooling

quiet breeze moving gently

holding drifting mists

A rainy morning haiku

rainfalls lovely sound 
pollen’s excess washed away
the air now refreshed

Today’s Haiku: March 30, 2026

dawn's slowly rising
light gently touching fresh blooms
the juncos dancing

Today’s haiku

clawing through the clouds
sunlight mingles with the rain
a winter’s day born

Ah, another winter’s morning starts here in Seattle!

Haiku: December 29, 2025

within the night’s song
silence flows through the darkness
deep into the soul

Tonight’s Haiku: December 8, 2025


the wind’s aggression
flinging branches to the earth
this winter’s darkness

Today’s haiku: November 5, 2025

mists through the cedars

the echoes of ancestors

remain vigilant
