First define what’s important
And then I focus
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.
Focus is fluid
As life is ever-changing
Nothing is static

Seeking a focus
Answering “what to do next”
Where my brain is now
Spending some time and energy right trying to figure out what I want to be focusing my energy on now.

Children now so tall
Just a few years left of school
Childhood’s ending
My mind
Muddled blur of data
Curious chaos

Light flows through gas clouds
Moving through millenia
Stars birthed, then die

Oh diversity;
Respecting our different
Experiences
Snooze bar seduction
No, not due to laziness
Rather, contentment
“Lost weight? Looking good!”
“Cancer will do that to you”.
Then awkward silence.
