June 2, 2020 Haiku

a springtime moment

some cat holding a sparrow 

blood on its whiskers

This evening’s haiku, May 28, 2020

blossom petals fall

with their vibrant, violet hues

hinting at summer

Against all odds, I hold onto hope. Hard in this mad , rage-filled world.

Wednesday Morning Haiku

in this morning calm

do not rush; embrace the calm

near the feasting bees

Ah, the beauty of mornings. No one else awake, the sun rising, hidden by trees and clouds. A perfect Seattle morning…for me, at least. 

A Dark, Rainy Night Haiku

the sound of the rain
rolling through the night’s darkness
bending the flowers

Today’s Word Of The Day Challenge Haiku

Taking part in the Word of the Day challenge, where today’s word is “Opinion”. It seems fitting as spring flowers are starting to wane to talk about the falling blossoms.

gentle rain passes
starlings sing their opinions
cherry blossoms fall
