A Monday Morning #Haiku

Dawn presents newness 

Beginnings and potential

This morning’s birdsong 

A Mid-April #Haiku

Spring’s glory is here

Soon the blossoms change to leaves

With summer’s warmness

A #Haiku for your Sunday morning 

I’m up before dawn 

Light coming through my window 

I just need some tea 
I hope your Sunday recharges your soul, giving you energy and drive as we face a new week. 

A #StarWars #Haiku

So much Star Wars on

This event in Chicago

One of my life’s great joys


Star Wars has long been a key part of my life. The films are a central part of my personal mythology. I’ve written a few other poems about the films, and I expect I’ll write more.

With Star Wars Celebration going on in Chicago this weekend, I’ve been delighted to watch video footage of the happenings. I’ve long been inspired by the universe, and delighted as we keep moving forward. I felt a desire to communicate a bit of what it feels like to watch what’s happening to these characters I love. I hope I did it justice.

Tonight’s #Haiku: Friday, April 12, 2019

​An evening with friends

Connections most beautiful

Expanding our souls

Thursday, April 11, 2019’s Haiku

Glorious springtime

With these petals bursting forth

Before the rains come

A Choice: Rage or Peace. Today’s #Haiku

Ugliness rises
And I must choose rage or peace
I seek out beauty

Today’s #Haiku: April 9, 2019

There are days we dread 

At least I can see them come 

These dark clouds moving 

April 8, 2019: #Haiku

Walking down this trail
Raindrops passing through the trees
Seattle’s springtime

Monday morning #Haiku

Awakened pre-dawn 

My mind racing with ideas

New blossoms have come 


May your Monday start an  effective and rewarding week.
