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

I created this haiku with Adobe Express in order to explore some of the text formatting features.

Today’s Haiku Challenge: Waves


sunset through the waves
sunlight sparkles upon the surf
fading into night

On Twitter, er, X, the user @Bleu_Owl posts a daily prompt “Haiku Challenge”. Today’s prompt is “wave”. The above is my contribution. I hope you enjoy it!

Today’s haiku video was created with Canva, a powerful freemium design tool. If you’re not familiar with it, I highly recommend it. The free version has plenty of functionality, and the premium versions are amazing without the high costs of Adobe.

Grace of Sunlight

the grace of sunlight
dancing in the ocean breeze
the sun arcs downwards

Sunday Flower

Rose bud along the waterfront

slowly opening
sunlight hidden by the clouds
such gentle motion

Evening Haiku

This evening’s haiku
between the rain squalls 
sunlight mellowed by the clouds
petals unfurling

Descending Sunlight


the grace of the sun 
as it descends through the leaves
greeted by flowers
