under the sunlight
these joyous echoes of spring
fading so quickly
Moments of Spring
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.
Today’s Haiku: April 28, 2022
clouds upon the wind as flowers sing to the sun birds oblivious
Morning Rain
morning rain
delighting flowers
rich memories
Seattle, famous for its rain. For some, the accompanying gloom saddens. For me, though, I feel tranquility. These rain soaked firs are home.
A pause in the rain
the grace of sunlight
with the clouds moving southwards
this pause in the rain
Sunlight on the Sand
sunlight on the sand
warmth flowing upon my face
as the rains approach
amidst the sunlight: a haiku
This morning I walked along the Edmonds marsh, grabbing this shot with my humble Samsung S20. The haiku flowed naturally.
I opted to add the text to the image directly via Canva. It’s been a while since I’ve done such and thought it would be good to stay in practice. Below is the text:
amidst the sunlight the agenda of flowers boisterous birdsong
Memories
teardrops
reminding me
love is eternal
Cherry Blossoms
a break in the rain
sunlight drifting downwards
through cherry blossoms
Flowers in the Sky
the glorious sky
I'm watching the cloud's motion
new life in the sun
Arise: A Haiku Response To The Word Of The Day Challenge
as flowers arise glories of springtime renewed boisterous colors
The past few days have seen this rhododendron, long part of my front yard, erupting with blooms. Though my allergies are now in full fury, I still delight in these.
This poem is my response to the Word of the Day Challenge. Today’s word is “Arise”.
