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. 

As Fall Approaches

Being from Seattle

I look forward to the fall

Cool air returning 

High School Begins

Looking towards the moon
The high school students inside
And now I adapt

When Night Falls

I love when night falls
As the air cools and light wanes
And peacefulness descends 

Seeking Purpose

Tuesdays: much to do 

In this busyness, purpose

Seeking out value
