Seattle’s Smokestorm: A Haiku

This summer’s fires

I’ve grown weary of the bad air

Longing for autumn


It’s been a challenging summer for us Seattleites. Especially though with any kind of respiratory issues. Really looking forward to the relief autumn is promising.

As one stares upwards

Admiring ornate art

Expressions in stone


 

Another image found on Bing (it’s from this website. Really interesting work).

I’ve long admire such stonework. The craftsmanship is exquisite, but I’m even more impressed by the mind the conceived it.

Beauty Within Destruction

In the smoke
I see beauty within
Destruction


The Seattle area has been suffering with unhealthy accounts of smoke. First from California, then from British Columbia. 

At dawn and dusk the sun has been this bold orange/red. Stunningly beautiful, juxtaposed against the monumental destruction weight by those fires. 

My body wants to sleep, but not my mind

Now the night moves in

My body wanting to sleep

My mind resisting 

Flowers: sharing a poem from O at the edges

A lovely poem

I delight in flower’s grace

Words of elegance

A Monday fear 

Nervousness wakes me 

A meeting with high pressure 

I’m lacking self-trust 

A #midnight #haiku

In this deep darkness
As this day transformed to new
This eerie silence?
