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.
Today’s Word of the Day challenge features “postponing”. With the Bomb Cyclone bearing down on the western states, rain and wind are on my mind. Anyway, without any further ado, here’s my haiku contribution.
tonight's wind delayed postponed by the twists of space momentarily
flowers in autumn
within the flowing mists
such tenacity
reddening leaves a gentle autumn breeze the motion of life
Here are a few photos, views from my daily walks this week.
autumn rains singing glistening jewels upon leaves gracefully earthbound
This photo was taken a few days ago on one of my walks with my trusty Samsung S9. I love the effect of the raindrops!
an autumnal stroll fir boughs caressing the sky between the rain squalls
wind blows through these trees
memories awakening
tranquility’s song
upon the roadside
waiting for the bees to come
embracing sunlight
suburban wanders
as fresh cut grass’ scent dances
memories awake
Today’s Word of the Day Challenge features “fresh”. As it’s spring here in the suburbs of Seattle, and I’m listening to a mower’s drone, this flowed from my keyboard.
petals scattering
memories of fading spring
summer whispers “soon”
Watching the trees shed their blossoms’ petals is both beautiful and sad. Summer comes on the death of spring.
mists flowing through trees
moisture upon the petals
dreaming of the sun
