As I look forwards
Inspired for the future
I’m embracing hope
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.
I need more time
Needing much more time
So much needing to be done
Hints of Autumn leaves
Life is so busy at times, it’s ready to lose focus. I forget what’s important, ending up weary. Remember to focus on what gives you energy, what gives you life.
The Day’s End
The day’s ending here
A busy and full day done
Now to calm my mind
This started before 6:00 am and stretched until I got home a little after 10:30. A reasonably productive day, which makes me happy. But, well, that’s really long. And I’m tired. So, good night my friends.
Too early in the morning
It’s not quite six yet
Which I still find “too early”
The boy’s in high school
I’m still adapting to the high school schedule. That will come. That will come.
Waging Peace
If we all wage peace
Perhaps sanity will reign
Deny destruction
Seattle’s Smoky Air
The smoke will soon clear
And autumn’s blessing will come
Scrubbing the air clean
A New DayÂ
A new beginning
Intersecting new with old
Moving forward now
A new work week starts. What will you accomplish?
Wild Roses
wild roses
gathered by the child
captured sunlight
Seattle’s Smoky Air
Smoke and haze return
Our murky air unpleasant
Awaiting a good rain
Labor Day: A HaikuÂ
Thanks to those who stood
Refusing to accept things
And speak for justice
