My contribution to today’s Word of the Day Challenge: Sand. I, being me, opt for a haiku.
memories of sand
I love the smell of the beach
the winds from the west
A Haiku Response To The Word of the Day Challenge
Category: Daily Haiku
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.
Raindrops on Petals
raindrops on petals
the bees now seeking shelter
spots on my glasses
Haiku, May 22, 2020
my evening walk
solace in quarantine
bees unperturbed
Haiku Response: May 20, 2020
This photo called to me for a haiku, and I was delighted to oblige.
the sun slips below
warm blazing orange blankets
when will the stars dance?
Wednesday Morning Haiku
in this morning calm
do not rush; embrace the calm
near the feasting bees
Ah, the beauty of mornings. No one else awake, the sun rising, hidden by trees and clouds. A perfect Seattle morning…for me, at least.
Tonight’s Haiku: May 19, 2020
A Sea Of Bits
in this sea of bits
the face of God floating by
through digital mists
A Dark, Rainy Night Haiku
the sound of the rain
rolling through the night’s darkness
bending the flowers
A haiku from this evening’s walk
below the sunset
and the glorious red sky
soon the songbirds sleep
Moving through my neighborhood, a suburb of Seattle, as the sun does as it must. Gravity’s handiwork across this sky. Rain started to fall as I neared home.
A Poetic Response To Klass
I discovered Tom Ashbrook this week (Spotify’s algorithms can do good work) and wanted to share this with you all.
bodies in motion
light moving across my ears
seducing my soul
