so much I recall
sunlight streams in through windows
chatter of songbirds
Memories of joy, of sadness, all flow at random moments. When my mind floats free I rediscover history, these elements within, forgotten but not lost.

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 haiku about self doubts
Seattle Pre-Dawn: A Haiku
​jet growls overheard
with rain falling gracefully
awaiting the dawn
Sitting here, finishing a poem, while preparing for my day.
Tonight’s Haiku: February 12, 2020
dawn’s approach
dancing through the clouds
birds boldly calling
Stirring Kindness: A Senryu
A senryu on kindness
we disdain kindness
rage: this visage of power
now learn gentleness
Haiku, February 10, 2020
gazing skyward
dawn’s light through the clouds
new beginnings
Tonight’s Haiku: February 9, 2020
my house quietÂ
every one else sleepingÂ
while the killdeer chant
A Lunar Haiku
at this brief moment
the clouds dancing with the moon
as winter deepens
Such a lovely moon this evening.
another morning
rain gently tapping windows
abandoned cobwebs
Early morning, life starts to stir, Seattle’s rainy tendencies reach their fullest expression. Not the monsoons of my childhood, rather, regular, continuous drip. The weather presents challenges for many.
A Haiku For A Rainy Seattle Morning
rain taps my window
echoing through memories
graveyard with damp grass
I listen to the gentle patter of the rain, memories full my head. Sitting in my bay window watching the rain. Laying in my childhood bed. Sitting in cafes, drying from walking, coffee welcome warmth.
Does rain’s sound trigger any memories for you?
