A busy day ends
I find it hard to focus
This winter evening
A haiku at the end of this busy day. Family after church, this period where birthdays intersect with major holidays.
Category: Daily Haiku
I adore the simplicity, as well as the challenge of Haiku. The constraints focus my mind, seeking out the essence of the moment, feeling, notion, distilling it to brilliant singularity.
My goal: to post at least one haiku a day.
Suburban Night
Suburban silence
Raindrops rattling my roof
The beauty of home
A Windy Night Calms
Now in night’s darkness
The air has become silent
Peacefulness reclaimed
It’s now calm as the wrong storm has passed through Seattle. Hope all you Seattle area folks got through relatively unscathed. Sure seems a bit of a mess right now.
Facing fear, putting it in its place
Fears can speak loudly
We must learn to not let them
Paralyze our will
A Night Of Song
Keys pressed in the night
Joyful sounds enchanting me
As a cold wind moves
Autumn’s End Nears
Still upon the tree
A feast for the passing birds
Nearing autumn’s end
I found the apples on these neglected trees to be haunting, ghost like. Sustaining the birds as the weather turns cruel.
A Walk Along The River
Along the river
My feet move through the sunlight
Serenity speaks
Digital Pilgrimage
Digital pilgrim
Across flowing electrons
Knowledge’s movement
A Rainy Night Haiku
Wind blows in darkness
Rain forces it’s way downward
Flowing over leaves
It’s a #rainy night in #Seattle.

A Christmas Tradition
A tradition renewed
Every year it is the same
And it’s different
