A Snowy Morning Haiku

A snowy morning in Lynnwood

morning silence

tranquility sings

exhaling clouds

A Seattle Saturday Morning Haiku

ache of the cold wind
clouds moving with great speed
a seagull’s poem

January 8, 2019: Haiku

Seattle’s rain falls
grey skies with shades of rich blue
perhaps we’ll see snow

Haiku, January 8, 2020

barren branches move

wind, graceful power’s song

I still hear your voice 

Walking In The Rain

​walking in the rain

moss covered stones by the brook

such calm memories 

I just discovered a new writing prompt series created by Ronovan Writes. I love the concept and look forward to exploring the community further. 

This haiku responds to this prompt: Ronovan Writes #Weekly #Haiku #Poetry Prompt #Challenge #287 Brook&Moss, which seems like a perfect prompt for a Seattleite. 

This morning’s #haiku: awaiting dawn

awaiting dawn 

light’s grace upon the dark clouds

rain’s song to the trees

Dawn may come earlier, but it’s still dark before I leave for work, still dark on many drive home. This, at times, challenges many mood. I work to stay cognizant of my minds health. 

A Christmas Day Haiku

such a lovely day

walking in cold sunlight

December’s blessings


My wife and I went for am afternoon walk with my wife down in Edmonds, my favorite little town. A fine way to spend an afternoon, methinks.

I hope your holiday filled you with happiness and joy.

Winter Arrives

the rain clouds lighten

greedy puddles expanded

wintertime arrives

The first day of winter arrives, dawn finally brightens Seattle’s clouds. Today follows a day of record rain and related aggregations. 

With the passing of the solstice, I await the longer days and the promise of spring. 

Walking in Edmonds, A Haiku

rain held back
clouds hide the sun
a rose glowing

A Walk On A Moonlit Night Haiku

moonlight through the clouds
the wind’s grace bringing it forth
dreams await me soon
