upon this roadside
while walking in the sunlight
the motion of life

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 Walk In The Woods
a winter walk
calmness amongst the trees
crows chattering
My Contribution to the @Baffled #HaikuChallenge
Today’s word: think.
underneath the trees
forest’s calmness helps me think
needed clarity
Forests calm me. Birdsong, the scent of firs, a gentle breeze. All bring tranquility.
Today’s FOWC: Trouble
This is my contribution for the Fandango One-Word Challenge. Today’s challenge word: trouble.
sunlight in the sky
within that deception
trouble is hidden
Morning Light
in the morning light
possibility singing
never surrender
Always Look Forwards
1always look forwards
freeing ourselves from the past
creating beauty
Daedalus dreamt of
traveling far with his son
anguish in sunlight
Under the Starlight
under the starlight
a momentary pause
the city grinds on
Nights in the city have a magic to them, don’t they?
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.
