Tonight’s Haiku

autumn moves forward
a rose retaining its grip
upon summer’s dream

Rain

as the water beads
flowing across the petals
rains drift westward

A Flower From My Walk

Flower from my walk
Flower from my walk

walking through sunlight
these flowers watch my progress
and summer’s approach

It’s a few weeks yet until summer, though we’ve had days with a summer feel. A few more days of cool dampness, then summer-like weather starts again. Slowly, iteratively, we’ll approach summer. Spring petals will continue to fall.

Moving Through Sunlight

Spring Flower
moving through sunlight
petals glistening from rain
crows float overhead

Urban Flower: A Haiku

Urban Flower

upon the roadside
waiting for the bees to come
embracing sunlight

An Animated Haiku

within this spring breeze

the flower has transformed

gracing the spring air


Today I experimented with creating animation with Adobe Spark. A fun creation, and I have a ton to learn. What do you think?

Look Closely

in the spring sunlight
if you look closely enough
you will find blessings

Haiku Response to the FOWC: Disparage

Haiku 4-4-21

who can disparage
the wind’s grace within the sky
bird’s dance on the wing

This is my response to the Fandango Word Of The Day Challenge: “disparage”. One of my photos taken earlier this week, image edited in Adobe Spark, font Lora Regular.

Hint’s Of Spring

through the cold air
in the winter sunlight
hints of spring awake

Took the featured image while on my walk today in downtown Edmonds (WA).

A Sunflower In Autumn

as the sunlight wanes
the sunflower sings boldly
a gentle wind blows
