The flowers blooming
Comes abruptly, then it fades
The nature of things
Came across this rose while walking this afternoon. I hadn’t noticed it before, and the petals will be on the ground shortly.

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.
Summer’s Sunlight
Summer’s flowers bloom
This season of bursting life
The sun’s energy
My Mission Statement
My mission in life
Make cool dreams reality
Defeat resistance
I had fun crafting this. Seems appropriate to have a haiku as a mission statement.
Lighter Than Air
I’m lighter than air
Drifting up above tree-tops
Wakefulness comes soon
Tonight’s Magenta Clouds
Evrning colors speak
Calling forth the rising moon
Dusk’s magenta clouds
I love summer nights
I love summer nights
So tempted to stay awake
Later than prudent
Light Moves Across The Firs
Sunlight’s fading fast
Moving across the grand firs
Gray clouds up above
Light Moves Across The Firs
Sunlight’s fading fast
Moving across the grand firs
Gray clouds up above

Changes, so many, a constant string; such is life, I guess.
Night Gently Calling
Night gently falling
Slumber’s insistent demands
Speaking to me, too
