The Blessings Of Night

the blessings of night
dusk's orange skies gently fade
ah, tranquility!

A morning haiku

flittering of bees
dancing upon the petals
a choir of birdsong

I’ve not had my morning tea yet. Time to change that, methinks.

I hope your Friday is inspiring and productive.

Daylight Drifting

daylight drifts downwards
the sun seeking its earned rest 
western mountains glow

Song of Sunlight

admist the flowers 
dancing upon the petals
the song of sunlight

Sunday Morning Haiku

under this spring sun 
graceful dance of the spring breeze
as the daylight fades

An Evening Haiku

the evening sunlight 
drifting behind western trees
cherry blossoms fall

A friend of mine asked me why I hadn’t written, or posted, any haiku lately. My answer is pretty lame. She said she missed them, so I offer up this one.

Autumnal Blooms

Autumnal Blooms

autumn progresses
rains arrive and the air cools
yet flowers resist

It surprises me, at times, the persistent resilience of flowers. Though fully in jacket and sweater season, flowers still reach to the cold sky.

Autumn Sunlight


autumn sunlight
moving through yellowed leaves
branches not yet bare

A Monday morning haiku

Monday morning haiku

so the week begins 
cool air, grey clouds, gentle mists
my tea calls to me

Tis a grey morning in Seattle. Autumn’s coolness fills my senses. Time to rise, drink some tea, then face the world.
