Tonight’s Haiku: April 24, 2025

with hints of purple
flowers changing through the spring
new wonders each day

A Morning Haiku

cherry blossoms fall 

as spring's skies begin to warm

free of all our fears

Tonight’s Haiku

sunlight descending 
brightening western mountains
quiet witnesses

Tonight’s Haiku

another spring day 
cherry blossoms scattering
fading memories

Wrote this one early this morning. Created this image in Canva.

Anyway, thanks for reading.

Early morning haiku

sleep’s evasive
the early morning darkness
hiding raindrops


Yeah, I should be asleep,

I’d prefer to be asleep

Yet that is not

My reality.

Tonight’s Haiku

the sunlight fading
while the grace of spring flowers
bursts upon the trees

Today’s Haiku

haiku text:
clouds dancing, moving to the north, healing spring rains.

This is a photo I took a few weeks ago on my Google Pixel, and the post below (Instagram) inspired me to write something today:

It’s funny to me how I feel compelled to justify my work, my writing, photography, poetry. Really, I’m supposed to monetize EVERYTHING! If it’s not generating income, or promoting my business, then I shouldn’t do it. However, I know, in my heart, that I need to create stuff.

I feel compelled to post daily, but I’m hamstrung by the needs above, as well as the larger issues of imposter syndrome and all that.

So, I took the photo above and added the haiku in Canva. I do enjoy that, but I think I need to explore other tools besides Canva. Heck, maybe I need to start doing these in Photoshop again. Get those skills back up.

Tonight’s Haiku

every bouquet 
begins with a single stem
blessings of springtime

This morning I went for a walk in Edmonds, one of my favorite things to do. I came across these daffodils, then came up with this haiku later.
