Strange sounds of the night
Is that a cat? A raccoon?
Now, again, silence
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 Suburban Haiku
Sun hidden by clouds
Walking in suburbia
Riotous birdsong
This morning’s haiku
Inconceivable!
Well, I don’t think that word means
What you think it means
This morning’s haiku was inspired by one of my favorite movies.
Do you know which one?
An evening haiku: Boldness of Vision
boldness of vision
living the best possible life
longing for springtime
Thursday Thoughts
Find hope at endings
As they’re a new beginning
Always move forwards
As I move through another period of transition, I focus on the possible. I gain energy from that, driving me forwards. Yes, there are frustrations, challenges, and road blocks, but remember the goal. Always focus on moving forwards.
Grace and peace to you my friends!
Oh Teriyaki! A Haiku
with its sweetened glaze
over glorious chicken
Seattle’s great dish
I’m extremely fond of teriyaki, and usually have some at least once a week. Everytime I start a new job or move, finding a new teriyaki shop is an immediate goal.
What’s you’re favorite food?
Orion’s Belt, Tonight’s Haiku
where the rain clouds were
I now see Orion’s Belt
a cold winter’s walk
The clear sky this evening, a welcome reprieve from the recent gloom. Made for a lovely, if rather cold, evening walk.
How was your evening?
Sunset, February 16, 2020
sunset through mountains
gulls climbing skyward with grace
branches still barren
Brunch in #Edmonds
A light mist outside
Delightfully warm within
My grandfather’s voice
My grandparents started coming to Edmonds’ Pancake Haus when it opened, and remained faithful customers til the end. My wife and I go somewhat regularly, enough that the staff recognize our son and ask about him. This connection brings me joy.
Do have any place with similar connections?
Sunday Morning Haiku, February 16, 2020
dawn’s light with pink hints
birds wake and continue life
a sauntering cat
