Haiku, May 4th, 2019

Sunlight on my skin

Fading into memory

Darkness approaches

A Spring Dusk

As I look westward

Dusk falling over water

Spring’s presence is clear

An Evening Walk In Edmonds: Tonight’s Haiku

Walking at sunset
Looking westward from the shore
Loving this nightfall

Tonight’s Haiku: An Evening Walk

Walking near the shore

Sunlight gracefully setting

My mind is swirling

It’s been a rough couple of days. A few moments of peace were very welcome. Walking and writing poetry connect me to the greater grace of the universe. And I’m grateful.

I’m grateful for you, too, dear readers. The likes and comments make me feel like I add value to your lives with my shaped words. So, thank you for reading, liking and commenting! It lightens the heavier loads in my life.

Walking along the shore

Walking in the night
Enjoying this graceful scene
Of the moon’s ascent

One of my favorite places is the waterfront in Edmonds, about 30 miles north of Seattle. I adore walking along the shore. Even tonight in the cold, though there were moments of striking clarity.

This Charming Old House

I love this old house
The echoes of elegance
Rang into the night

This house had been part of my life for years. Recently, it’s owners have worked hard to recapture its glory. They’ve done a nice job, in my opinion.

Along The Shore

Along the shoreline

I feel sunlight upon my skin

A warm winter’s day

An Autumn Afternoon Walk

Walking in the sun

Before winter’s rage arrives

A tranquil respite

An Autumn Night At The Shore

Underneath the moon

And this glorious sunset

Autumnal beauty

This evening’s walk

Went walking today

Along my favorite shoreline

As the sun moved low


One of my favorite things is to walk along the waterfront in Edmonds, WA. Tonight I include a few photos I took along the way.
