sunlight to the east
springtime deceiving our clocks
the air, cold and dry
Another step closer to spring.

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.
The Past, The Future, Focus
stories of the past
yet I look to the future
I am far from done
Met a really cool guy today. A former Navy nuclear power program sailor, just like me. Though he is quite a bit younger.
Swapped stories of our respective experiences, which I enjoyed. Yet I often worry in those moments that I’ll become like the subject of Bruce Springsteen’s “Glory Days”, a relic, trapped in the past. Grave fate, for me, at least.

out into the night
a beacon on my sidewalk
crisp air reminders
Tonight’s Haiku: March 5, 2020
star filled night
reaching heavenwards
caressing God’s face
A Worn RV
so many miles
weathered and worn by life
a cold biting wind
A Rainy Day Haiku
rain induced darkness
overhead clouds bring dampness
winter’s grip still hurts
Monday Morning Meditation
Mondays are a gift
Beginnings: great potential
How will you use it?
Winter’s Skies
winter’s skies return
sun obscured by dark rain clouds
spring’s grace is quite near
Walking: Tonight’s Haiku
Winter’s sunlight falls
Boldly matching across sand
Kingfisher glides past
