Monday Morning Haiku: Boundaries

​It is important

To respect people’s boundaries

Not all hugs are safe

A Haiku for #Seattle’s #Gumwall

This eclectic spot

Seattle’s famous gumball

Well worn paving stones

Walking In Seattle

Those evenings at dusk
Fashionable, Seattle style
Nights in my city

Denying Hope

So much of life lost
Since we deny so much hope
Leaves starting to fall

Writing’s Mystery

Amusing

How I put pen to paper

Expecting certain words

To flow gracefully

I’m always surprised

At what lands upon

The page

An Early Morning Haiku 


At this early hour
Awake before my alarm
Enjoying silence

The definition of “Athletic”

As a youth
Athletic meant “jock”
Of which I did not align
Now things change
And I find myself
Within that fold
Strange changes
Of life

“Athletic” Means Something New Now

As I get older
Athletic has new meaning
It applies to me
