Winter Arrives

the rain clouds lighten

greedy puddles expanded

wintertime arrives

The first day of winter arrives, dawn finally brightens Seattle’s clouds. Today follows a day of record rain and related aggregations. 

With the passing of the solstice, I await the longer days and the promise of spring. 

A Haiku For A Rainy Night

this hard, cold rain
flowers in December
a street light flickers

A Moment Of Peace: Tonight’s Haiku

the rain falls gently
garish lights raging above
a moment of peace

A haiku from tonight’s walk

brief moments of light
damaging the perfect dark
winter’s nearly here

An Edmonds Kind Of Haiku

along the water

the breeze carries the salty air

my grandfather’s voice

Haiku, December 16, 2019

lacking wind

tree branches do not bend

starlight unphased 

Early morning, when I’m not interested in being awake, yet here i am. 

Monday Morning Haiku, December 16, 2019

the morning darkness 

this unwelcome wakefulness

morning quietude 

A Haiku In Edmonds, WA

a view to the west

looking over the water

calmness of sunlight

Walking in Edmonds, A Haiku

rain held back
clouds hide the sun
a rose glowing
