unwanted wakefulness;

listening to the rain

December 19, 2020: Rainy Day Haiku

A Rainy Day Haiku

this December day
under my feet cold ripples
keep moving forward

Cold, rainy day. Ripples in the puddles. For me, this means home. What about you?

Always in a Rush

Always in a Rush, a Haiku

always in a rush –
sunlight drifts across the trees
raindrops upon roofs

Wrote this one early this morning as part of Baffled’s Haiku Challenge (on Twitter). I appreciate his daily challenges, forcing me to stretch my mind. Also, these haiku are a great way to keep my Adobe skills sharp. I create most of my posts right now with Adobe Spark.

Today’s desire: capture the feeling of a cold, dark, winter’s morning in Seattle. Today was dreary and damp, hence the focus. I opted for the Playfair font. A unique font, with understated serifs.

Walking at Night: a Haiku

feet upon pavement
headlights move through the darkness
facelessly pass by

Walking last night, stepping over and around puddles, remembering so many other nights. An element of this Seattle life.

I appreciate writing prompts and their motivation to create. Today’s Fandango One Word Challenge features “gibberish”. Not the easiest to write with. But, well, I came up with the below.

so much gibberish
mindlessness passing for thought
and smoldering rage
