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.
Monday Morning Haiku
morning birdsong
dawn's light hidden by the clouds
and this gentle rain
Tonight’s Haiku
the sunlight fading
while the grace of spring flowers
bursts upon the trees
Today’s Haiku
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.
An evening haiku
streetlight’s reflection
ripples across the puddles
windchime’s gently tones
