Wednesday had gone past
So very much has been done
Longing for the trees

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.

Awakened briefly
Activity around me
Now, again, silence

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.
It is important
To respect people’s boundaries
Not all hugs are safe

Sunday night closes
The week’s power approaches
My house now silent

Two beings I’ve long known
Moments from my childhood
Muppets filled my dreams

This eclectic spot
Seattle’s famous gumball
Well worn paving stones

Those evenings at dusk
Fashionable, Seattle style
Nights in my city
So much of life lost
Since we deny so much hope
Leaves starting to fall
