springtime’s presence here
flower’s garish excesses
sunlight fights viri
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.

springtime’s presence here
flower’s garish excesses
sunlight fights viri

first morning of spring
sunlight moving through the trees
tea warms my soul

the warmth of daylight
crocuses heralding spring
now songbirds slumber

suburban sunlight
neighbors socially distant
feeling springtime’s close

the wind blowing cold
painful to fingers and face
sun upon the mountains

sunlight’s downward path
as I wander past the fears
ah, cherry blossoms!


more sunlight each day
and the grace of warmer days
cherry blossoms bloom


the daffodils’ gaze
dancing on the near-spring breeze
while the jays chatter
