while the raindrops fall
this day of rest progresses
into the night’s grace

Rain filled this day, and my energy level was, well, absent. But I clearly needed rest. So,  I rested. A gift to myself,  I guess.

Tonight’s Haiku

crocuses arise 
finding their way upwards
after the show melts

Today’s Haiku

the rain grows warmer
slowly the plants awaken
the season's motion

I saw this little blossom on my walk today. Right before the rains started. It’s was cold,  then damp. But I was equipped,  so it was pleasant. Not a bad way to surrender a Sunday afternoon.

Today’s Haiku

A haiku image with this text: dawn gently drifting 
enlightening the mountains 
through the eastern trees

I realize I’ve missed a few days. So much for my goal of posting daily.

Ok, let’s try to get back on-track.

I hope each of you has a lovely Sunday and are set up for a productive week.

Today’s Daily Haiku

dock under cloudy sky in front of mountain

the winter's sunlight
upon the western mountains
the song of the waves 

Walking at night: a haiku

Tonight’s haiku
walking through the cold
feeling the grace of the night
soon the rains return

It was a good night for a walk. Brisk air was mitigated by my jacket. My main challenge: being near invisible to the passing cars. But most of my walk was far off the main roads. Thus, my key sensation was tranquility.

Morning Rain

Flowers in the rain

in the morning rain
gently upon the petals
amidst the birdsong

Rainy Night Haiku

rainy night haiku

rainfall in the dark 
autumnal scents descending
windchime's gentle tone

Sunset Haiku

Sunset in Edmonds

summer sunsets
gently across the mountains
gracefully cooling air
