Ah! Windows update!
Monday morning with crisp air
Crows laughing outside

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.
Snow Upon Firs, Today’s Haiku
silence of midnight
celebrate tranquility
snow upon the firs

morning darkness
unwanted wakefulness;
listening to the rain
A winter morning
raindrops sing
a melancholy tune
my tea cup cools
December 19, 2020: Rainy Day Haiku
this December day
under my feet cold ripples
keep moving forward
Cold, rainy day. Ripples in the puddles. For me, this means home. What about you?
Always in a Rush
always in a rush –
sunlight drifts across the trees
raindrops upon roofs
Wrote this one early this morning as part of Baffled’s Haiku Challenge (on Twitter). I appreciate his daily challenges, forcing me to stretch my mind. Also, these haiku are a great way to keep my Adobe skills sharp. I create most of my posts right now with Adobe Spark.
Today’s desire: capture the feeling of a cold, dark, winter’s morning in Seattle. Today was dreary and damp, hence the focus. I opted for the Playfair font. A unique font, with understated serifs.
Walking at Night: a Haiku
feet upon pavement
headlights move through the darkness
facelessly pass by
Walking last night, stepping over and around puddles, remembering so many other nights. An element of this Seattle life.
Haiku, December 13, 2020
looking up at dusk
the stars starting to appear
the fog of my breath
Haiku: December 9, 2020
amidst the daylight
the sky holding my gaze
the rain speaks loudly
A Rainy Afternoon Walk
walking through the mist
rain-soaked clothes cooling my skin
memories of sun
