A Monday Morning #Haiku

Dawn presents newness 

Beginnings and potential

This morning’s birdsong 

Monday morning #Haiku

Awakened pre-dawn 

My mind racing with ideas

New blossoms have come 


May your Monday start an  effective and rewarding week.

Time to Rise

​Beautiful words 

Embrace my mind 

Yet life demands 

My attention

An Early Morning Poem

It is morning, I guess,

Bringing me wakefulness

Vigorously unwanted

Far too recently did I dive in

Seeking eight hours of rest

Obscenely cut short

By my restless mind

The Pursuit of Excellence: a #Haiku

This rainy darkness

The sun has not yet risen

Pursue excellence


There’s so much to accomplish early in the day. Before others are awake and the manic vigor rages forth. I love this time of day, when potential feels unlimited. When I’m bounded solely by my ambition.

What’s your favorite time of day?

This Morning 

Not yet dawn 

Morning’s air chills 

Blankets more inviting 

Soon will grab some tea 

Now it’s Tuesday, A Haiku

So, it’s now Tuesday

Outside the window; darkness

Yet I must arise 

Sunday Morning

the sun rises

i resist waking 

my warm bed 

This Seattle Morn

Sunlight on the clouds

Silence dominates the air

The firs are aglow

A Saturday morning haiku


Dawn has now long passed 

Life’s demands now driving me

And, thus, I’m rising

Awaken, my friends, and seize this day
