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.

Tonight’s #Haiku: Friday, April 12, 2019

​An evening with friends

Connections most beautiful

Expanding our souls

Thursday, April 11, 2019’s Haiku

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

Tuesday Morning: Today’s Haiku

p style=”font-family:"”>It’s not yet dawn

<

p style=”font-family:"”>No light over the mountains

<

p style=”font-family:"”>And I’m now awake

<

p style=”font-family:"”>It’s Tuesday morning. A new day arises. What are you going to do with it?

A Monday Early Morning Haiku 

A street shines just outside my window. The quiet of this suburb, both home and alien. 

Reality and Possibility

possibility
Where is the boundary
Between reality
And possibility?

In Motion

Dreams of motion 

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Cars and vans, across deserts 

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Sunlight’s glaring strength 

<

p style=”font-family:"”>The forces of life drive hard 

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Each day waking 

<

p style=”font-family:"”>I’m the same bed

<

p style=”font-family:"”>With different views 

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Outside this glass

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Wheels sparkle in the day 

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Transitions happen 

My body wants to sleep, but not my mind

Now the night moves in

My body wanting to sleep

My mind resisting
