A Cold Near Spring Breeze: Tonight’s Haiku

Mt. Baker from Edmonds

the wind blowing cold
painful to fingers and face
sun upon the mountains

Ah, Cherry Blossoms!

sunlight’s downward path

as I wander past the fears

ah, cherry blossoms!

Tonight’s Haiku: Eating Sunlight

springtime’s motion glancing upward into the sky eating sunlight

March 10, 2020: Cherry Blossoms

more sunlight each day
and the grace of warmer days
cherry blossoms bloom

Near Spring Haiku

hints of spring arrive bursting free of winter’s grasp on this barren branch

Daffodils: Tonight’s Haiku

the daffodils’ gaze
dancing on the near-spring breeze
while the jays chatter

A New Musical Discovery

I know that I mostly post poetry, and more specifically haiku, here. However, music also holds a dear spot in my soul. So, discovering this video today thrilled me in many ways (I grew up on a regular diet of Simon & Garfunkle), and I wanted to share it with all of you.

It’s a version of Simon & Garfunkle’s “America” done by the Swedish duo First Aid Kit. Check out who’s in the audience.
