raindrops sing
a melancholy tune
my tea cup cools
Facing Forward
raindrops sing
a melancholy tune
my tea cup cools

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.

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

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.

Morning arrives
Sunlight ascending
Through autumn mists

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.

dawn moves through the clouds
hope ripples through the puddles
tea’s steam awakens
I love rainy Seattle mornings. Even in these insane times.
