white space my best friend
crisp clarity is my goal
not one extra word
Such is my ascetic: minimalism, concise clarity. Inspired by modernist and Swiss Style, I prefer crisp fonts, lots of free, open white space.

Haiku
A Friday Morning Haiku Near Seattle
these grey morning skies
echoing my memories
birdsong calming me
These grey, cloudy mornings are a part of my soul.
Haiku, July 9, 2020
dawn hidden by clouds
songbirds boldly chattering
gentle summer’s breeze
A morning after a restless night. Coffee far too late, perhaps. My ears attuned to the night, hearing so very much, sleep came with difficulty to late to be useful. Once I woke, the morning calmness and quietude spoke to me.
Wednesday Morning Haiku
These peaceful moments
Walking in my neighborhood
Sunlight upon clouds
Graceful Sunlight: A Haiku
the motion of light
falls gracefully on petals
gentle summer breeze
Morning Poem, July 6, 2020
grey coolness flows in
obscures the morning sunlight
flowers wake slowly
Haiku: July 5, 2020
This evening’s walk
Gravity pulls the sunlight
Looking westward
Haiku: July 4, 2020
this crown of petals
summer’s beauty now reigning
wind chimes graceful dance
Sunlight on Skin: A Haiku
life’s gentle pleasures
feeling sunlight on my skin
wind chimes singing
Friday Morning Haiku
morning glory
graceful vines
rainy summer morn
