This Morning’s Rain: A Haiku

Early morning rain
Disrupting outdoor planning
Well, we’re flexible


Awoke to the steady patter of a Seattle rain. For me, there’s something very calming about it. I guess it’s part of Seattle being home. There must be moss in my soul. 

A Rainy Day In Seattle: Today’s Haiku

Another grey day

Rainfall has moistened the ground

Watching memories


It’s feels very much like September this morning. The ground is damp from overnight rain. I great the crows debating their aviary issues of the day. 

Having spent most of my life in our around Seattle, this is a common vision. One that connects me to so many memories, good and bad. Today I’m remembering living in downtown Seattle. That was home for nearly 10 years after I got out of the Navy. Basically, most of my twenties. 

A fascinating time of my life. Trying to understand my place in the world. Discerning my dreams and goals. Mostly discerning myself, and my soul as unique and individual. Before that I either lived at home, in a dorm, on a ship, or in a barracks. I’d never truly lived alone. 

This summer morning haiku

This summer morning
Seattle’s cool mistyness
Singing to my heart

Something about Seattle’s misty mornings speak to my soul. 

A Flower After The Rain

As the rain had passed

This flower’s glory shines forth

And then the light shifts

A Seattle Saturday Morning 

The rain returned

A counterpoint provided 

Against sunny warmth 

Keeping us humble 

And the moss healthy 

Tonight’s Haiku: Rain Gently Falls 

This good day now ends 

Accomplishing many things

Rain’s gently falling 

Waking Early To Rain

Rain marching downwards

Gravity’s relentless draw 

Early morning thoughts 

Walking Alongside The River

After days of rain
The river’s running quite high
An eagle watching

Tonight, As Sleep Approaches

Sleep approaches me
The darkness cocooning me
Rain gently falling

A busy day concluded. Time with dear friends exploring one of Seattle’s great landmarks. Now, though, it’s time to sleep. 

I hope your day was rewarding, that it was all you’d hoped it would be. 

Good night, dear ones, good night!

A Rainy Evening Haiku

Moonlight hides from me 

Behind the rain laden clouds 

Spots on my glasses
