Today’s Haiku, 9-25-2024

the abyss’ edge
I finally stare within
seeing myself stare back

An evening haiku

the newest of nights 
moon rises above the trees
fresh ink upon my page

This came to me as I was winding down for bed last night.

I hope each of you has a wonderful week.

Tonight’s haiku

with the moons’s motion
gracefully across the clouds
in the night’s silence

A red sky haiku

with forests ablaze
reddened skies through tall firs
the birds go silent

An evening haiku

Tonight’s haiku

at the day’s ending
sunlight fades into the sea
gentle grace of night

A haiku at dusk

Rose at dusk
with dusk descending 
and gently fading sunlight
flowers get their fill

Today’s Morning Haiku

with my morning tea
the gentlest of breezes
sunlight through the clouds

I love calm mornings. Today, Seattle’s weather seems to be pivoting from rain to partially cloudy. Blue skies punctuated with white clouds. Summer’s heat abated, whether temporarily or for the rest of the year is uncertain, but I’ll take the respite.

Autumn Approaches

Today's haiku
orange and red leaves
as i gaze out my window
glories of autumn

The maple just outside my office window already shows autumn colors. Of course, September approaches quickly. Less than a week (Sunday) brings the new month. As tempting as it might be to make some reference to the passing of time, it doesn’t feel very creative.

Haiku: August, 25, 2024

Tonight’s haiku

after the rainfall 
sunlight moves from behind clouds
summer reaches far

An evening haiku: August 22, 2024

grace consumes the night
within this silent darkness
healing commences
