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.
what does the sun risk
climbing up eastern mountains
quiet autumn morn
Is a rather cool autumn morning just north of Seattle. Grey skies filtering sunlight. For me, this is peaceful and calm.
How is you Wednesday shaping up?

daylight fading
street lamps blink on
birds now silent
I delight in the night. Flickering streetlights are their own poems, no?
dawn’s quiet ascent
gracefully over mountains
autumn morning chill
though expecting rain
the daisies are unimpressed
within the cool air
On my walk I noticed these fellows resisting autumn’s influence. Though lots of rain predicted for today, it remained remarkably dry. These daisies seem rather pleased.
this fading sunlight
breeze stirring the fallen leaves
memories drift past
on my walk this night
the highlight of this evening
spying these mushrooms
various shadows
varieties of sunlight
visual echoes

a new day begins
underneath my feet I hear
freshly fallen leaves
now laden by rain
bowed by gravity’s demands
longing for sunlight
in the autumn rain
petals holding reflections
ghosts of the summer
