Trees bursting with blooms

Blossom petals slowly fall

Seasons still changing

At the Edge of Darkness

There’s so much beauty

At the edges of darkness
The power of night

The Prominence of Night

Night has prominence

The street light bold beaming

Contrasting the dark

Another poem about the night. I hope its restful and rejuvenating.

A Monday Morning #Haiku

Dawn presents newness 

Beginnings and potential

This morning’s birdsong 

A Mid-April #Haiku

Spring’s glory is here

Soon the blossoms change to leaves

With summer’s warmness

A #StarWars #Haiku

So much Star Wars on

This event in Chicago

One of my life’s great joys


Star Wars has long been a key part of my life. The films are a central part of my personal mythology. I’ve written a few other poems about the films, and I expect I’ll write more.

With Star Wars Celebration going on in Chicago this weekend, I’ve been delighted to watch video footage of the happenings. I’ve long been inspired by the universe, and delighted as we keep moving forward. I felt a desire to communicate a bit of what it feels like to watch what’s happening to these characters I love. I hope I did it justice.

​An evening with friends

Connections most beautiful

Expanding our souls

Glorious springtime

With these petals bursting forth

Before the rains come

April 8, 2019: #Haiku

Walking down this trail
Raindrops passing through the trees
Seattle’s springtime

Cherry Blossoms at UW

These cherry blossoms

Thousands of people descend

Seattle’s springtime
