white space my best friend
crisp clarity is my goal
not one extra word
Such is my ascetic: minimalism, concise clarity. Inspired by modernist and Swiss Style, I prefer crisp fonts, lots of free, open white space.

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 Friday Morning Haiku Near Seattle
these grey morning skies
echoing my memories
birdsong calming me
These grey, cloudy mornings are a part of my soul.
Haiku, July 9, 2020
dawn hidden by clouds
songbirds boldly chattering
gentle summer’s breeze
A morning after a restless night. Coffee far too late, perhaps. My ears attuned to the night, hearing so very much, sleep came with difficulty to late to be useful. Once I woke, the morning calmness and quietude spoke to me.
Wednesday Morning Haiku
These peaceful moments
Walking in my neighborhood
Sunlight upon clouds
Graceful Sunlight: A Haiku
the motion of light
falls gracefully on petals
gentle summer breeze

grey coolness flows in
obscures the morning sunlight
flowers wake slowly

This evening’s walk
Gravity pulls the sunlight
Looking westward

this crown of petals
summer’s beauty now reigning
wind chimes graceful dance
Sunlight on Skin: A Haiku
life’s gentle pleasures
feeling sunlight on my skin
wind chimes singing

morning glory
graceful vines
rainy summer morn
