Seattle’s grey skies
Though they filter the sunlight
Bring me peacefulness
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.

Life is so complex
The beauty within haiku
Ah! Simplicity!
A Good Night Haiku
This evening creeps past
My body is now weary
Listening to the wind
I’m fighting some beastly bug. Tis time to let sleep have a go at it.
Compassion
There is no such thing
As too much compassion
Sunlight calls to me

Reflecting From Stone
Staring at myself
Wetted marble captures me
As I seek balance
If you’ve been to Seattle’s Pacific Science Center, you’ve probably noticed the marble sphere balanced upon water. A perfect equilibrium which allows for an ease of motion; it can be shifted with one hand.

A Haiku As I Listen To Satie
Listening to Satie
These binary colored keys
Dancing summer light
I always envision Impressionistic artists as I listen to Satie. Just seems so perfect. Like Bach in cathedrals.
Success leaves clues: I seek them
Always keep growing
Study other’s successes
Yes, success leaves clues
I refuse to stagnate. I seek growth.
