In the morning mist
The waves dancing on the sand
Summer’s gaze will win
Tag: haiku
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.
An early evening haiku
With darkness falling
The sun shining from down low
Easily through trees
A Tuesday Meditation For You
Each day move forward
Seek out the best in ourselves
Honoring the sky
Good morning and welcome to Tuesday! I hope your week moves you in the direction you seek.
Homewards: tonight’s haiku
As we move homewards
Across the San Juan Islands
Summer’s Joy’s awake
Hiking Lopez Island’s Iceberg Point
Within this forest
Passing all this Spanish moss
A cool summer’s day
Snake Up
Strange to see this snake
Atop this blackberry bush
Embracing the sun
I’ve never seen a garter snake climb on top of a bush. I wonder of this chap has taken a liking to berries.
Lopez Island: A Haiku
Awake this morning
And this view over the bay
Resetting my soul
The Sky Over Lopez Island
In this summer’s sky
With this glorious calmness
I ponder deeply
I’ve been enjoying crafting these designs Canva. It’s a solidly fun tool.
Remembering: a haiku about suicide’s fallout
His smile in my mind
A friend’s son just took his life
These clouds are broken
My heart is heavy today. We can be so cruel sometimes, especially with ourselves. If you are struggling with suicidal thoughts please know you are not alone and that there are people who will help.

An afternoon walk
The afternoon sun
Warm as we move to evening
My feet keep moving
