branches filtering sunlight
springtime’s gentleness
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.

a break in the rain
bees insist on gathering
glorious nectar
This bee was energetic little lady was hard to capture, as she kept bouncing from flower to flower. I am rather proud of this humble shot with my Samsung S9.

Fallen Blossoms
through today’s rain
spring and summer soon will fuse

The Arc of Sunlight

Flowers Near The Trees
mountains to the west

Forgotten Forests

memories of trees echoing
forgotten forests

sunlight on meadows
flowers bouncing in a breeze

A Momentary Pause
feasting on sunlight
brief bits of joyful color
momentary pause
A few days ago I was walking along the nearby waterfront. This burst of color captured my attention, both at the moment and then yesterday, which I spent resting, recovering from my second dose of Moderna. I got a fair amount done in spite of my day of rest, but I didn’t get a haiku posted.
