Heavy rain at dawn
Hints of sunlight through the clouds
Wind chimes play softly

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.
Signs of Autumn in Seattle
rain-laden dark clouds
Seattle’s signs of autumn
leaves starting to change
Crane Fly’s Motion
a crane fly’s motion
under the bathroom lights
returned to freedom
My Grandmother’s Voice
clouds across the sky
dancing upon mountain tops
my grandmother’s voice
Bees Speak In Code
the bees speak in code
can we hope to understand
secrets of petals?
The First Day Of Autumn
holding back the dawn
grey skies resisting sunlight
grace of rain soaked leaves
It’s a classic Seattle autumn morning. One that I delight in. I hope your autumn is off to a good start.

Today’s Word of the Day Challenge: Elation
sunlight climbs mountains
elation and jubilee
a new day is born
Blessed Rain
rain’s grace
clouds hiding the sun’s face
beloved fresh air
Seattle’s rain is most welcome.
As Autumn Nears, I Remember Spring
Memories of spring
Rain rippling in puddles
Thinking of sweaters
Today filled with rain, cleansing Seattle’s air of the lingering smoke. Very, very welcome indeed.
Just a few days until autumn. Though I look forward to sweater weather, I dread the greater resistance to spending time outside. Something to overcome.
Praying for Rain
smoke lingers
hiding the sunlight
praying for rain
The air quality in Seattle is supposed to improve dramatically over the next day. And rain is in the forecast both today and tomorrow. Relief approaches!
