Winter Arrives

the rain clouds lighten

greedy puddles expanded

wintertime arrives

The first day of winter arrives, dawn finally brightens Seattle’s clouds. Today follows a day of record rain and related aggregations. 

With the passing of the solstice, I await the longer days and the promise of spring. 

A Haiku For A Rainy Night

this hard, cold rain
flowers in December
a street light flickers

A haiku from tonight’s walk

brief moments of light
damaging the perfect dark
winter’s nearly here

Monday Morning Haiku, December 16, 2019

the morning darkness 

this unwelcome wakefulness

morning quietude 

A Walk On A Moonlit Night Haiku

moonlight through the clouds
the wind’s grace bringing it forth
dreams await me soon

Coffee Haiku, Bellingham, WA

sitting, pen in hand
crafting poems while it rains
glorious coffee

A Fairhaven Haiku, December 10, 2019

Black and white photobooth
Walked past this relic in Fairhaven

embraced by the night
walking, the air freeing me
birds high overhead

Bellingham Moments, December 7, 2019

grey skies fill my eyes

raindrops linger in my dream

coffee’s beauty reins

December 4, 2019

an evening with friends
fills me with the greatest joy
crows upon the breeze
