Impressive: A Haiku

Here’s my contribution to today’s Word of the Day Challenge. The word: Impressive.

resisting wind, rain
feeding upon the sunlight
impressive glories

The featured image is a photo I took yesterday. I’m unsure of the flower type, but found it lovely.

under summer clouds
watching the vigor of bees
joyously cool breeze

Bees Speak In Code

the bees speak in code
can we hope to understand
secrets of petals?

The bees keep working

Honey bees at work

Through the intense sun

And air choked with smoke moving

The bees keep working

The air in the greater Seattle has been filled with the smoke of many fires. Carried by the wind miles, a gift to be choked, I guess. The bees seem unperturbed.

Seattle Smoke

in this morning air
destructive rage blowing west
the sepia sky

The featured image is out my front door, trying to capture the smoky haze that’s descended upon Seattle. My lungs hurt a bit, my eyes sting, and I feel for my asthmatic friends and the misery they’re going through.

Tenacious Flowers

tenacious flowers
dancing with the honey bees
as they move skyward

A Walk Amongst The Trees

walking amongst trees

sunlight climbing to the west

motion of my feet

A Near Autumn Haiku

These ghosts of summer

Gently fading into time

This cool morning air

Memories of Bees

flowers moving through the sun

this accidental beauty
such a lovely day

As I wrote this post, Bill Wither’s “Lovely Day” came up, finishing up my last line.

May your Monday be, well, lovely.
