Awakened, now returning to sleep

Awakened briefly
Activity around me
Now, again, silence

Monday’s Mania: A Haiku

Monday’s mania
Subdued by evening calmness
Autumn night’s stillness


Frenetic days:

I’m not fond of them.

Such is life.

Respond, work,

Move along.

Monday Morning Haiku: Boundaries

​It is important

To respect people’s boundaries

Not all hugs are safe

The Henson exhibit at Seattle’s MoPop

Two beings I’ve long known

Moments from my childhood

Muppets filled my dreams

A Haiku for #Seattle’s #Gumwall

This eclectic spot

Seattle’s famous gumball

Well worn paving stones

Walking In Seattle

Those evenings at dusk
Fashionable, Seattle style
Nights in my city

Denying Hope

So much of life lost
Since we deny so much hope
Leaves starting to fall

An Early Morning Haiku 


At this early hour
Awake before my alarm
Enjoying silence

A Truly Horrific Day

Filled with painful news
Death, destruction and much pain
Manifest sorrow
