Walking at sunset
Light dances upon the trees
Squealing children play

Late Night HaikuĀ
I sit in the dark
Calmness refueling my soul
The song of starlight
I woke in the middle of the night and wrote this. Seemed rather perfect when I read it this morning. Still, I’d rather sleep through the night right now.
Comfort from the Dark
As I move through dusk
The cool darkness comforts me
From the past’s echos
September Moves In
September moves in
sunlit days becoming rare
the scent of autumn
Morning Sunlight
Morning sunlight
Under the cool autumn breeze
I resist waking
A lovely autumn morning in Seattle. Blue skies, mostly white clouds, though there are a few darker ones. The demands of my day finally rouse me. My tea welcomes me back to life.
Today’s Word of the Day Challenge: Wave, a Haiku
the ocean’s motion
waves moving across the earth
continuously
Here is my contribution to the Word of the Day Challenge. Today’s word is “wave”. Having spent so much of my life near the ocean, this is the first place my mind went. I did think a bit about writing about physics, but, well, I decided oceans were more lovely.

Morning Haiku, September 24, 2020
Heavy rain at dawn
Hints of sunlight through the clouds
Wind chimes play softly
Signs of Autumn in Seattle
rain-laden dark clouds
Seattle’s signs of autumn
leaves starting to change
Weeds vs Wildflowers
my mind wondering
why are dandelions weeds
not wildflowers?
As a boy, I loved dandelions. As an adult, I wonder why they’re so maligned. What do you think?
