Seattle’s Alaskan Way Viaduct: A Haiku

Concrete broken to dust

A megalith vanishing

History fading 

The Velvet Cape Of Night 

So much is hidden 

By the velvet cape of night 

Not Just what’s frightful 

Laying here seeking sleep. Hoping it’s mercy comes soon. 

Walking along the shore

Walking in the night
Enjoying this graceful scene
Of the moon’s ascent

One of my favorite places is the waterfront in Edmonds, about 30 miles north of Seattle. I adore walking along the shore. Even tonight in the cold, though there were moments of striking clarity.

A Blessed Day Haiku

This day was quite good
Filled with blessings of friendship
Within winter’s chill

I hope you’ve found goodness in your life today.
