Always in a Rush

Always in a Rush, a Haiku

always in a rush –
sunlight drifts across the trees
raindrops upon roofs

Wrote this one early this morning as part of Baffled’s Haiku Challenge (on Twitter). I appreciate his daily challenges, forcing me to stretch my mind. Also, these haiku are a great way to keep my Adobe skills sharp. I create most of my posts right now with Adobe Spark.

Today’s desire: capture the feeling of a cold, dark, winter’s morning in Seattle. Today was dreary and damp, hence the focus. I opted for the Playfair font. A unique font, with understated serifs.

Haiku: December 9, 2020


amidst the daylight
the sky holding my gaze
the rain speaks loudly

A Rainy Afternoon Walk

walking through the mist
rain-soaked clothes cooling my skin
memories of sun

Walking in the Rain

Moving through the leaves
As the rain begins to fall
These autumnal strolls

Though I got drenched, I did get a poem out of it.

A rainy Monday Morning

Rainy Monday morning haiku

Morning arrives
Sunlight ascending
Through autumn mists

Porchlight Haiku

The light has faded
I see my breath by porch light
The song of raindrops

A cool, drearily rainy end to the day. Chilled into discomfort, but not pain, only the mildest of inconveniences. But December approaches quickly, even though we still have trees with leaves on them.

Wednesday Morning

dawn moves through the clouds
hope ripples through the puddles
tea’s steam awakens

A Seattle autumn morning, rainy and cool. Strange senses of home.

Wednesday morning Haiku

dawn moves through the clouds
hope ripples through the puddles
tea’s steam awakens

I love rainy Seattle mornings. Even in these insane times.

A Night Haiku

I embrace the night

rain flows from forgotten roofs

safe inside my coat


Another experiment with Adobe Spark.

Autumn Daisies

though expecting rain
the daisies are unimpressed
within the cool air

On my walk I noticed these fellows resisting autumn’s influence. Though lots of rain predicted for today, it remained remarkably dry. These daisies seem rather pleased.
