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.
#Seattle’s skies, a #haiku about #clouds

A blend of grayness
These shadows within the clouds
Such graceful herons
June 22, 2019: #Haiku

such a brilliant day
those I love accomplishing
sunlight reaches me
Today I watched dear friends test for their blackbelts, and followed that up with graduation parties. The beauty of growth delights me deeply.
Walking in #Everett, a #haiku

Walking through this town
A reminder of our past
And union power
A Near Summer #Haiku

My feet move in rhythm
The sun hidden by the firs
Summer’s not here yet
A #Haiku From Tonight’s Walk

WALKING THIS EVENING
FOR THE GENTLE RAIN HAD STOPPED
THIS COOL EVEBING AIR
A Rainy Tuesday #Haiku

Even though it’s rained
Summer’s breath still dominates
And sunlight has returned
Sunlight’s Grace: A #Haiku

Looking towards the sky
And summer’s not quite here yet
This graceful sunlight
An Almost Summer Haiku

Love this reddened sky
The darkness bringing cool air
Summer’s antidote
Good Morning Haiku
The morning’s progress
Resisting the snooze alarm
Listening to birds
