I love the haiku

I love the haiku 

Gentleness in the small size 

Grace in simpleness


Perhaps you’d figured this out about me by now. 

A Wednesday Meditation

Now the week’s middle

So very much left to do

This steady constant

The Great Blue Heron

This gangly bird
Inelegant legs, bearing
Ghost upon the marsh

Yosemite

Majestic mountains
Magnificent light falling
Tranquility’s song

 

In The Face Of The Horrible

Face the horrible
The waves of sadness and pain
Find strength together

 

Seattle’s Rain Arrived

Raindrops tap windows

Gusts rattling the dried leaves

Autumnal cold rain 


The predicted reasons have come. Trees bend in the breeze, leaves drift across my drive. Summer’s memory flutters within the dried, damp leaves. 

West of invective

At times I weary

All this invective burning

I’m charred and hollow

Fears

A strange fear of mine
To vanish into time’s mists
Forgotten notebooks

A Friday evening haiku for my knee

Though no injury
Knee pain, stiffness and soreness
Ibuprofen saves

Wednesday, traveling at high speed: A Haiku

Wednesday had gone past

So very much has been done

Longing for the trees
