Fire engines call
Sirens piercing the darkness
Summoned against fear
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.
The power of dawn
As mornings are born
Light pours into the darkness
Potential returns
Mornings have great power, setting the tone for the day.
A Tuesday HaikuÂ
Eternal movement
Hands sprinting on these dials
Relentless motion
Burning Out
I’m often weary
Wondering how much to give
Will I have some left?
The cost of rage
Rage brings forth power
Everything comes with a cost
Not a path to peace
Roll The Clocks Back
I sometimes wonder
If we should roll our clocks back
Into sundials
A Transfiguration
Light across the cloud
The eye of God looking down
Changed when it meets me
A Rainy Seattle Friday: Haiku Challenge
Rain is now falling
A #Seattle element
All things grow from there
The “word of the day” was “element”
And now it’s Thursday
This strange thing, Thursday
Near the end of the workweek
But without respite
A Haiku About Being True To YourselfÂ
​Being true to “you”
In this age of social noise
Now, who is this “me”?
