Manzanita Sunset

Manzanita Sunset

as the sun descends 
day drifting to memory
the birds still singing

Sunday Flower

Rose bud along the waterfront

slowly opening
sunlight hidden by the clouds
such gentle motion

Evening Haiku

This evening’s haiku
between the rain squalls 
sunlight mellowed by the clouds
petals unfurling

This morning’s haiku

crows calling 
through the morning mists
petals gently fall

A Modern Dilemma

modern dilemma 
I see all my hopes and dreams
behind the paywall

A little mediation on modern life and media.

One-Liner Wednesday: A Monoku Response

Autumn Leaves
Autumn Leaves

reddening leaves not yet journeying earthwards, soon autumn storms come

Here’s my contribution to Linda G. Hills “One-Liner Wednesday” prompt. I discovered this through Fandango’s response to the same prompt.

This is a monoku, essentially a variant of haiku. If you’re not familiar with them, Jason Muckley has a great explanation on his blog.

Through the Autumn Leaves

Autumn leaves

under autumn leaves
sunlight drifting through the mists
crows singing their joys

Autumn Flowers

Autumn flowers, decaying slowing, gracefully

in this autumn rain
flowers feel the grasp of time
morning moving past 

Today’s Haiku: Bursts of Color


footsteps on the path
bursts of color reach my eye
underneath the leaves

Saw these on my walk yesterday. They were striking, standing out solidly in the mass of green.

I finished up Summer quarter on my journey to finish my ATA in Web Development. I will write some about that soon. Six quarters complete and three quarters left. Now, what to do afterwards? So much opportunity, so many choices, thus, so many things to say “no” to. That’s my pain.
