My soul resisting
This awakening, needed
Longing for sleep’s grace
Tag: haiku
I started writing haiku in my junior high creative writing class. After high school, though, when I started studying the Beat Poets, and Kerouac in particular, my fondness for this art form grew. I tend to focus mostly on the 5-7-5 style, but occasionally I explore further.
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.
This Morning’s Rain: A Haiku
Early morning rain
Disrupting outdoor planning
Well, we’re flexible
Awoke to the steady patter of a Seattle rain. For me, there’s something very calming about it. I guess it’s part of Seattle being home. There must be moss in my soul.
This Night: A Haiku
As I now lay here
The night’s silence calming me
My brain is active
This grey morning light
This grey morning light
Falls deftly through morning sky
Clouds from the ocean
A wee spot of melancholy in today’s daily haiku

Mindfulness in Chaos
Facing down chaos
Though I spend time focusing
New demands arise
Today’s Haiku: Seeking Greatness
As I seek greatness
I look for something richer
Than mere dominance
What are we seeking?

Outside My Window
Outside my window
Through the darkness of this night
Honeysuckle blooms
