Under the Fir Trees

under the fir trees

eyes closed, awaiting the dawn

gently falling rain

Possibilities Abound: Today’s HaikuĀ 

a new day begins

possibilities abound

the pre-dawn silence

Haiku, January 8, 2020

barren branches move

wind, graceful power’s song

I still hear your voice 

A December Walk

Walking in the cold
Wind biting through the sunlight
The finch’s motion

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. 

Haiku: December 2, 2019

through the air’s sharp chill
echoes of summer remain
sunlight bringing life

Walking In Edmonds: Tonight’s Haiku

moving through the cold

winter’s approaching quickly

still hints of summer

This MorningĀ 

Not yet dawn 

Morning’s air chills 

Blankets more inviting 

Soon will grab some tea 

Amidst The Sun And Snow

Under the cold sun

The welcomed sunlight warms me

Amidst bitter cold
