It is important
To respect people’s boundaries
Not all hugs are safe
poetry, prose, and photography
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.
It is important
To respect people’s boundaries
Not all hugs are safe

Sunday night closes
The week’s power approaches
My house now silent

Two beings I’ve long known
Moments from my childhood
Muppets filled my dreams

This eclectic spot
Seattle’s famous gumball
Well worn paving stones

Those evenings at dusk
Fashionable, Seattle style
Nights in my city
So much of life lost
Since we deny so much hope
Leaves starting to fall
Filled with painful news
Death, destruction and much pain
Manifest sorrow
As I get older
Athletic has new meaning
It applies to me

Compline sung again
Mark another year of life
I am richly blessed
