Seattle’s Rain Arrived

Raindrops tap windows

Gusts rattling the dried leaves

Autumnal cold rain 


The predicted reasons have come. Trees bend in the breeze, leaves drift across my drive. Summer’s memory flutters within the dried, damp leaves. 

The Henson exhibit at Seattle’s MoPop

Two beings I’ve long known

Moments from my childhood

Muppets filled my dreams

Well worn paving stones

Seattle’s Rain Returns


Though late

I am not sleepy

I sit here, listening

Rain falls upon my roof

Forever, it seems, 

I’ve loved that sound

Walking In Seattle

Those evenings at dusk
Fashionable, Seattle style
Nights in my city

Seattle’s Rain Has Returned

Rain has returned
It feels more like Seattle
The one of my memory



So much of my life has been spent in the presence of Seattle’s rain. Though it chills my skin, it warms my heart.

Seattle’s Smoky Air

The smoke will soon clear
And autumn’s blessing will come
Scrubbing the air clean

Seattle’s Smoky Air

Smoke and haze return

Our murky air unpleasant

Awaiting a good rain

#Seattle’s Bumbershoot is this weekend

Seattle’s weekend

Music will be the center

Bumbershoot’s glories


One of my region’s iconic events Bumbershoot. An amazing streets and music festival. And, yes, is named after the German word for umbrella. Seattle’s love for irony.  

As Fall Approaches

Being from Seattle

I look forward to the fall

Cool air returning
