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.
snow falling
memories: moments of cheer
delights of childhood
Snow isn’t quite a joyous a thing as an adult as I found it as a child. Yet the echoes remain.
This is my contribution to today’s Word of the Day challenge, with today’s word “cheery”. I took a little liberty with “cheery”. I hope it cheers you, at least.
upon this first snow
a group of robins gather
a first sign of spring
Though there was snow on the ground this morning, it was mostly gone by early afternoon. Then, during my afternoon walk, I saw a group of robins rummaging through the fallen leaves. Winter may be in place now, but spring cannot be stopped!
overnight snow
contrasts with the junkos
dusting the grass
It snowed overnight in the Seattle area. Just enough to cover the grass but not bury it. Tis quite cold this morning.
even in winter
the blooms always find a way
life is beyond spring

Some thoughts this winter’s morning. I hope you’re warm and safe.
rain is predicted
delights pluviophiles
Seattle winters
As a live-long Seattleite, I hold a certain fondness for rain. One tempered with topical annoyance, and occasional despair. Yet, for the most part, I enjoy rain. The sound upon my roof. Watching the rain from a street-side café, listening to jazz. So much of my life revolves around liquid precipitation.
rain will soon fall
I will feel the warmth
of memories
Posted this earlier today on my Instagram feed. I wanted to share it with you, too.
these quiet mornings
listening to the rain fall
calmness with my tea
This Weekly Prompt appeared (haiku) in my feed today. As I love mornings, it felt quite nice to create this haiku as a part.
facing the sunlight
arms reaching ever skyward
wind off the water
bursts of energy
ultimate blend of flavors
productivity
