the clouds get darker
rain starts to fall on my face
and birds quiet now
Rain Begins To Fall: A Haiku
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.
A Friday Morning Haiku
It’s a quiet, grey morning here in Seattle. Journaling to start day, then to my desk to get done work done. How’s your quarantined life going?

Another photo from my walks. This tree really impressed and delighted me, especially with the fading light.
Another damp day in quarantine here in Seattle. How’d you day go?
A Rainy Night In Seattle
as the water falls
air speaks to my sense of home
the night hides mountains
I wasn’t able to get out today for a walk, and photo explorations. It rained a good chunk of the day, and I was pretty busy. So, I grabbed this photo from Pexels as it captured my mood.
Tonight’s Haiku
the air this spring night
coolest touch upon my face
footsteps though silence

Tonight’s Haiku: Frogsong
approaching a pond
delighting in the frogsong
Basho’s memory
Walking in my neighborhood, there are a few ponds. Tonight I noticed the frogsong…for the first time this spring. I doubt the frogs have been silent until tonight. Probably just the first night I was out late enough.
Tonight’s #Haiku contribution to #NaPoWriMo
rain speckled petals
grey motion above the trees
the colors of spring
A #haiku: moonlight through the trees
with the clock’s motion
moonlight hidden by the trees
quiet memories
#NaPoWriMo, April 16, 2020
under the sunlight
the seduction of flowers
bees singing their song
