An #Evening #Walk: Tonight’s #Haiku

I am in motion

Walking under the night’s sky

The moon escorts me

An Evening Haiku

Tonight's Haiku
Moving through the night, Autumn’s cool air calming me, Moonlight through the trees

Some thoughts on the night. Love the colors of this night’s sky. How satisfied were you with the day now past?

A Coffee Haiku For Your Sunday

A coffee haiku for your Sunday morning

The grace of mornings
Facilitate my heartbeat
Glorious, warm darkness

May your day be blessed indeed.

A Seahawks Haiku

Fans with explosives
The Seahawks have a new win
Evening distortions

Tonight’s haiku is inspired by my neighbors who are loudly celebrating the Seahawks win.

#Insecurities: A #Haiku

Meditating on things that hamper growth. Insecurities fill that for me. Especially as they’re often unfounded and irrational, to the point of annoyance. Well, that’s how I feel when I can step back and look set them rationally. 

Writing is one way I cope. Putting them down on paper helps me deeply. 

Also, this shows me the power of daily affirmations. Taking the time to deliberately challenge these destructive mental models…actually, proactively challenging them, is important. Stay ahead of the corrosion. 

A Seattle Autumn: A Haiku

As I look skyward

The memories fill my mind

Seattle’s autumns

Devouring Rage

We devour rage

And it seeps into our bones

One tweet at a time 

A meditation on modern culture. Am I off base? What do you think?

Tonight’s #Haiku: Into Seattle This Evening

Ventured into town

Walking the streets I once knew

Many memories

Flowers in the Night

Flowers in the night
Do they notice the street light?
A breeze from the west


Another meditation from an evening walk. These walks clear my mind of the day’s mania. Thus they’re very welcome to me.

Tonight’s Haiku

Though the air has cooled

These flowers resist autumn

Sunlight’s grasp waning

I took this photo in Edmonds, a small town north of Seattle. I’ve lived most of my life in its orbit. My heart has a dear place for this place.
