Winter’s Skies

winter’s skies return
sun obscured by dark rain clouds
spring’s grace is quite near

A haiku over tea

Some afternoon tea

Combined with a tasty lunch

Spring’s not quite here yet

Enjoying a lite bite at Edmonds’ Red Twig. A lovely cafe with tasty food, lovely coffee and a good selection of teas, it’s a favorite stop for many of our neighbors.

Wednesday Morning Haiku

time’s motion

irresistible

spring

Two days until my job ends and I begin the next chapter of my life. Mixes sadness and excitement into a strange cocktail. 

New Opportunities

life’s changes
new opportunities
cherry blossoms

I saw these blooms at Edmonds Community College today. I am moving forward with my career transition plan. My current position ends Friday, and I’ve grown weary of being let go all the time. So I’m going to study Web Design and Development. This excites me deeply.

Forward, always moving forward.

Wednesday, Early Morning

outside my window

sounds of cat lust, or a fight?

awake before dawn

A haiku from this evening’s walk

moving through darkness
quiet, my old companion
graceful solitude

A rainy Tuesday Haiku

A Rainy Tuesday Haiku
Seattle Rain

pattering outside

gutters groan quite loudly

blessing my rain gear 

Well, quite the rain to wake up to. Not monsoon like, but still rather heavy. 

I hope your Tuesday meets all your goals and desires. 

A Cloudy Night Haiku

clouds dancing eastwards
souls uncovering new dreams
wind chimes whispering

The Night Climbing Down The Clouds

the evening moving

sunlight crawling down the clouds

a long solstice night

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.
