Autumn Leaves

Autumn Leaves

in this gentle breeze
reddened leaves dance graceful
in the morning mist

It’s been a busy week. I started fall quarter and ended up with a stomach bug. Those two items sucked up the majority of my time. I’ll have more updates shortly.

I hope everyone of you is well and that you’re feeling refreshed and re-energized.

rain upon my face
joyous autumnal breezes
all the earth refreshed

Today’s Haiku: A Heavy Rain


ferocious rain falls 
battering leaves and flowers
days fade into night

nature's graceful force
always pushing us forwards
through autumnal rains

Ah, a lovely, rainy near-autumn morning here in Seattle. Autumn is my favorite season, so this fills me with happiness. And I expect my brown lawn is rejoicing with the rain.

I created this with Canva. The image is not mine, but a complementary one in Canva. Motion in text is something I am exploring deeper. Yeah, this isn’t that terribly challenging, but I’m all for small steps.

Monday morning haiku

dawn upon the clouds
hints of red within the leaves
gentle morning mists

A haiku response to today’s Word of the Day Challenge

Today’s word is “overdue”. Not a very poetic word, is it?


a day with light rain
giving overdue relief 
birds gracing my day

A Dark Sky Haiku

Dark Sky
under sunlight's edge
gazing upwards at the clouds
I have everything 

After the Rain

After the Rain
between the rain squalls
I get to walk in the sun
flowers cheer me on

A Break In The Rain

Bee In A Flower
Bee In An Orange Flower


a break in the rain
bees insist on gathering
glorious nectar

This bee was energetic little lady was hard to capture, as she kept bouncing from flower to flower. I am rather proud of this humble shot with my Samsung S9.

Moving Through Sunlight

moving through sunlight
petals glistening from rain
crows float overhead
