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.
a crow staring
upon the weathered fence board
a spring morning
How are you doing with our social distancing? As something of an introvert, this isn’t as challenging as it is for so many friends. I hope you’re finding peace during this time.
walking in the rain
flowers in all their glory
fireworks of spring
sunlight from the east
I seek to start every day
crafting a poem
Good morning everyone! Wishing peace this first Friday of April.
as dreams are emptied
once the spring rain has fallen
see the refreshed sun
​
dawn’s light absent
darkness on cherry blossoms
when shall I make tea?
I appreciate every motivation to write. NaPoWriMo’s goal of a poem a day fits what I’m trying to do with this blog. I hope you enjoy!
upon this roadside
a gateway to narnia?
shall I go and see?
though we sit indoors
birds’ harmonies reach my ear
spring has still arrived
The seasons care not for the concerns of humanity. Spring arrives no matter our preparedness, nor our desires. Life continues its motion.
I hope this finds you healthy and safe. How are you adapting to our new life?
a riot of blossoms
celebration of new life
soon fluttering down
I walk by this tree regularly. It’s been daily during the lockdown. Spring is fully on. The blossoms lovely, temporary. Perhaps that’s part of their; their impermanence. So very Zen of me, I guess.
silence outside
daylight still waking
the quiet of poems
daises in the rain
water dripping from my hat
the wind’s memory
