A Valentines Day Haiku

romances evolve

old man and woman hold hands

watching the sunset

I hope your Valentines Day is everything you hope for and need.

Signs of Spring

Snow upon the firs

upon this first snow
a group of robins gather
a first sign of spring

Though there was snow on the ground this morning, it was mostly gone by early afternoon. Then, during my afternoon walk, I saw a group of robins rummaging through the fallen leaves. Winter may be in place now, but spring cannot be stopped!

Today’s Word of the Day Challenge: Bloom

Winter Blooms

even in winter
the blooms always find a way
life is beyond spring

Rain will soon Fall

rain will soon fall
I will feel the warmth
of memories

Posted this earlier today on my Instagram feed. I wanted to share it with you, too.

Today’s Word Of The Day Haiku: Sad

do you know I’m sad?

walking alone on concrete

tears hidden by rain


This is my contribution to today’s Word of the Day Challenge: Sad. Fitting, I guess, for a rainy, gloomy day in Seattle. Many days like today’s hosted sadness. Lately, though, even in the midst of the pandemic, I feel calmness, tranquility.

January Flowers

in the light of dawn

this bitter bite of winter

balancing with grace

The winter air has a substantive bite. Our weather reports hinted at snow, January marching into February. Yet, even in this time of cold, of darkness, flowers grace life with reminders that spring approaches.
