in the fading light
walking amongst the trees
red painted clouds
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.

in the fading light
walking amongst the trees

amidst the trees
moving through the mist
rain starts to fall
Another rainy, autumn day near Seattle. I was able to get out from behind my desk for a little while, abruptly, when I noticed a dryish patch in the day. Yet again, I almost got home before the rain started to fall. Fortunately, I managed to avoid getting too wet. Fortunately.

Moving through the leaves
As the rain begins to fall
These autumnal strolls
Though I got drenched, I did get a poem out of it.

Morning arrives
Sunlight ascending
Through autumn mists

autumnal daylight
crisp, cool air awakens me
I reach for my tea
I woke to a lovely autumn morning. The rain holding off until a convenient time opens up possibilities. Yet, I expect to spend most of the day in front of a computer.
My response to today’s Fandango’s Word Of The Day Challenge. Today’s word: adept.

words flow from keystrokes
there are times I feel adept
rain cools my ego

The sun descending
Western mountains afire
Reaching for my dreams
It’s been a frenetic week, but productively so.

autumn progresses
but the trees are not yet bare
this briskly cold morn
I took this photo while out on my walk yesterday. My fondness for autumn soothes me in these angry times.

Moving through the night
The silence surrounding me
And leaves under foot
