under the starlight
a momentary pause
the city grinds on
Nights in the city have a magic to them, don’t they?
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.
A Pause In The Rain
a pause in the rain
I head outside to walk
opportunities
Life in Seattle often means adjusting plans in response to the rain. The photo in the featured image is one I took recently, font is Spectral.
A Walk Along The Waterfront
through fading sunlight
walk along the waterfront
filled with memories
Most of my life orbited the Edmonds waterfront, just north of Seattle. My grandparents lived here. So many memories of walking with my grandfather here, sometimes riding the ferry. He loved talking with everyone, hearing their stories. His gift of listening appreciated.

frost upon the grass
breadcrumbs for the Steller’s Jays
dawn’s tranquility

A Walk In The Woods
through the nearby woods
the way, today, much drier
moving through winter
This evening’s haiku, January
Yesterday’s moonlight
Interwoven amidst dreams
Drifting through my mind
Monday haiku Z
a pause in the rain
signs of winter around me
motion of my feet
Haiku, January 4, 2021
resisting the wind
amidst winter’s aggressions
life’s tenacity

under damp branches
swaying underneath the breeze
stump returns to earth
Happy New Year 2021
explosions outside
clocks continue their ticking
nothing stopping time
I hope your 2021 brings you happiness and joy!
