poppies in the breeze
graceful dance in the sunlight
memory’s echos
Poppies in the breeze
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.
Sunlight and Roses
the grace of sunlight
pulling the rose towards the sky
joy of hummingbirds
Fallen Blossoms, A Haiku
even though they fight
petals fall upon the ground
springtime fades to dust
Weariness, a meditation
step by step
I move through
weariness
Sunny Spring Sky
underneath the clouds
moments of sunlight pulled down
the delights of spring
Petals are Falling
amidst the birdsong
and the days getting warmer
petals are falling
Today’s Haiku: FOWC with Fandango — Capricious
Blogger Fandango created his own version of the WordPress Word of the Day Challenge once WordPress stopped updating their page. I appreciate deeply that he launched his own version. This creative exercise helps me grow.
Today’s word is “capricious“.
the capricious sun
with such brutal cruelty
and life-giving love
Coffee Shop Vibes
within coffee shops
respites from the coldest rain
such sanctuary
I took this photo at Everett’s Narrative Coffee. The ambiance delights me. With its brick walls, I return to many cold, wet days from when I lived downtown Seattle. Books, pastries, coffee; the elements of classic elegance.
Just a little editing in Photoshop to capture the mood. A little blur for a vignette, a bit of color balancing, et viola!
A spring rose
the motion of spring
turning sunlight into life
this moment embraced
Spring Irises
these spring irises
the other side of the fence
caressed by the rain
