A lovely poem
I delight in flower’s grace
Words of elegance

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.
Sunset: A Haiku
This day moved by fast
Sunrise becoming sunset
Orange horizon
A Monday fear
Nervousness wakes me
A meeting with high pressure
I’m lacking self-trust
An evening haiku
This night now ending
Time to calm my random thoughts
And embrace my rest
A #midnight #haiku
In this deep darkness
As this day transformed to new
This eerie silence?
Resisting the night
Darkness holds its own
Rest is deceptively hard
The street-light’s ally
A Friday morning haiku
Dawn’s light is now here
The highway sound now louder
Crows conversing
Seattle’s Smoke: A Haiku
A crescent moon
Tinted red by the wind’s
California remnants
A Haiku Tribute To Aretha Franklin
“Aretha Franklin”
I honor her by saying
She’s earned my RESPECT
Aretha Franklin Sang Her Way Through America’s History. Her Passing Is the End of an Era
I Chose To Care
Though many don’t care
And they pride themselves on that
I shall choose caring
I don’t mind the nerdly/Pollyanna label: I care. And I have no intention to change that.
