as dreams are emptied
once the spring rain has fallen
see the refreshed sun
Tonight’s Haiku: About Spring Rain
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.
Day Two: NaPoWriMo
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!
Day One of NaPoWriMo
upon this roadside
a gateway to narnia?
shall I go and see?
Today’s #Haiku, #Spring Arrives Amidst #Covid19
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 Spring Haiku
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.
Early Morning Haiku
silence outside
daylight still waking
the quiet of poems
A Rainy Saturday Evening Haiku
daises in the rain
water dripping from my hat
the wind’s memory
Saturday Morning Haiku
wind chimes
early morning darkness
birds sing to my tea
Everyone else is asleep in my house. I’m very fond of these quiet moments. I hope all of you are safe and healthy.
A Spring Afternoon
sunlight flows downwards
fir trees grasping towards the clouds
a gentle spring breeze
Sidewalk in Black & White
my movement is life
concrete underneath my feet
sunlight through the clouds
Shot the photo while on a walk near home, then edited in Instagram. Original is color, but black and white just felt right.
