Fears

A strange fear of mine
To vanish into time’s mists
Forgotten notebooks

Denying Hope

So much of life lost
Since we deny so much hope
Leaves starting to fall

The Day’s End

The day’s ending here
A busy and full day done
Now to calm my mind


This started before 6:00 am and stretched until I got home a little after 10:30. A reasonably productive day, which makes me happy. But, well, that’s really long. And I’m tired. So, good night my friends.

Seattle’s Smoky Air

Smoke and haze return

Our murky air unpleasant

Awaiting a good rain

Labor Day: A Haiku 


Thanks to those who stood
Refusing to accept things
And speak for justice

Welcome to September: A Haiku 

This new month begins

One that brings lots of changes

Now it’s September

#Seattle’s Bumbershoot is this weekend

Seattle’s weekend

Music will be the center

Bumbershoot’s glories


One of my region’s iconic events Bumbershoot. An amazing streets and music festival. And, yes, is named after the German word for umbrella. Seattle’s love for irony.  

Seasonal Motion 

And so I’m falling
Forward into each season
Brewing energy


I find myself anticipating each new season’s arrival. The excitement wears off, though. Fortunately, new things come each change. 

Blessings to you all!

Goodbye August

Now it’s striking me

That August will end today 

September? Oh, my!


Seasons change, life flows and evolves. Sometimes we get to notice.
