Winter’s Skies

winter’s skies return
sun obscured by dark rain clouds
spring’s grace is quite near

Walking: Tonight’s Haiku

Winter’s sunlight falls
Boldly matching across sand
Kingfisher glides past

A haiku over tea

Some afternoon tea

Combined with a tasty lunch

Spring’s not quite here yet

Enjoying a lite bite at Edmonds’ Red Twig. A lovely cafe with tasty food, lovely coffee and a good selection of teas, it’s a favorite stop for many of our neighbors.

A Leap Day Haiku

I expect this might be better classified as senryu, but I’ll let others decide. 

Today’s Haiku: February 28, 2020

sparrow’s motion
light, agile upon sunbeams
mountains snore

Wednesday Morning Haiku

time’s motion

irresistible

spring

Two days until my job ends and I begin the next chapter of my life. Mixes sadness and excitement into a strange cocktail. 

Wednesday, Early Morning

outside my window

sounds of cat lust, or a fight?

awake before dawn

A Tuesday Morning Haiku

morning darkness

swirls around

memories

One day is done, four more to go as I transition out one career stop into another. Friday’s an ending and a beginning. I’m sad about the ending, but excited about the beginning. I’m opening a new chapter in my life. Blank pages to fill. 

Strange sounds in the night

A Suburban Haiku

Sun hidden by clouds
Walking in suburbia
Riotous birdsong
