Darkness holds its own
Rest is deceptively hard
The street-light’s ally
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.
A Friday morning haikuÂ
Dawn’s light is now here
The highway sound now louder
Crows conversing
Seattle’s Smoke: A Haiku
A crescent moon
Tinted red by the wind’s
California remnants
A Haiku Tribute To Aretha Franklin
“Aretha Franklin”
I honor her by saying
She’s earned my RESPECT
Aretha Franklin Sang Her Way Through America’s History. Her Passing Is the End of an Era
I Chose To Care
Though many don’t care
And they pride themselves on that
I shall choose caring
I don’t mind the nerdly/Pollyanna label: I care. And I have no intention to change that.
The Passage of Heartbeats
Each moment passing
Fading into memory
Waiting on sunlight
In a VW Van
On the edge of sleep
I’m dreaming of road journeys
In a VW van
*pronounce Vee Dub.
A long day done
Though not inspired
Only feeling weariness
Force myself to write
A suburban early morning
Though it’s not yet dawn
The neighbor’s dog is howling
Life in the suburbs
Another day begins
​Another day begins
Accept my limitations
Find my strengths: excel!
