Refocusing: Tonight’s Haiku

Easy distractions
I do need those reminders
Of what’s important

It’s important to refocus, from time to time, preventing me from getting too caught up in the mindlessness.

Modern Life: A Haiku

Competing demands

Everything highly urgent

Ah, tis modern life!

Oh,this fast paced modern existence! It’s overwhelming at times, isn’t it?

Seattle Snow: A Haiku

More snow has fallen

The ground covered with stillness

Echoes of my past

We had another snowfall yesterday. I love the snow covered earth. A sense of peacefulness fills me. I remember the many snowy days from my youth. Joyous moments; sadness at the losses that brought me here. 

A Pre-Dawn Haiku For #NaHaiWriMo and #SnowMageddon2019

I sit in the darkness

Free from fear’s anguished grasping

Earth covered in snow

Seattle’s first significant snow event this winter has disrupted our lives solidly. I miss the days i could walk to work, even in the snow. The roads have been quite treacherous. So, I’ve avoided them. Today, though, I really need to make my way into the office. It’ll be fun ,I’m sure. 

The Grace Of Fresh Snow

I look at the night

Upon freshly fallen snow

I’m struck by the grace

It’s a beautiful, snowy night here in Seattle. It feels wonderful, though I dread tomorrow’s commute.

This Charming Old House

I love this old house
The echoes of elegance
Rang into the night

This house had been part of my life for years. Recently, it’s owners have worked hard to recapture its glory. They’ve done a nice job, in my opinion.
