The Pursuit of Excellence: a #Haiku

This rainy darkness

The sun has not yet risen

Pursue excellence


There’s so much to accomplish early in the day. Before others are awake and the manic vigor rages forth. I love this time of day, when potential feels unlimited. When I’m bounded solely by my ambition.

What’s your favorite time of day?

Seattle’s Alaskan Way Viaduct: A Haiku

Amidst The Sun And Snow

Under the cold sun

The welcomed sunlight warms me

Amidst bitter cold

Icicles

As they reach downwards
Gravity’s and cold’s teamwork
Strange tranquility

Seattle Snow: A Haiku

More snow has fallen

The ground covered with stillness

Echoes of my past

We had another snowfall yesterday. I love the snow covered earth. A sense of peacefulness fills me. I remember the many snowy days from my youth. Joyous moments; sadness at the losses that brought me here. 

A Pre- #SnowMageddon2019 #Haiku

As we’re preparing
For Seattle’s next snowstorm
We embrace humor

Another Snow Storm Approaches

Seattle hates snow
As another round comes near
Winter’s cruelty bared

The Grace Of Fresh Snow

I look at the night

Upon freshly fallen snow

I’m struck by the grace

It’s a beautiful, snowy night here in Seattle. It feels wonderful, though I dread tomorrow’s commute.

Tonight’s Haiku: On A Winter Walk

On a winter’s walk
As darkness approaches me
Loving the sky’s glow
