Some memories hurt
Not welcome to remember
So they haunt our dreams
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.
Facing Challenges
Life challenges us
When we rise up and fight back
That is when we grow
Sirens in the Dead of Night

The power of dawn
As mornings are born
Light pours into the darkness
Potential returns
Mornings have great power, setting the tone for the day.
A Tuesday Haiku
Eternal movement
Hands sprinting on these dials
Relentless motion
The cost of rage
Rage brings forth power
Everything comes with a cost
Not a path to peace
Roll The Clocks Back
I sometimes wonder
If we should roll our clocks back
Into sundials
A Transfiguration
Light across the cloud
The eye of God looking down
Changed when it meets me
A Rainy Seattle Friday: Haiku Challenge
Rain is now falling
A #Seattle element
All things grow from there
The “word of the day” was “element”
Full moon this evening
