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.

Well, today’s autumn. So I brought iut a photo from one of my walks last week. The weather was much nicer.

I hope your fall is fantastic.

A Friday Night Haiku

Friends are beautiful
Easy as riding a bike
Graceful connection

I hopped into Canva looking for inspiration, and found this template. Bicycles delight me, and friends are wondrous. The haiku felt pretty natural with all those pieces coming together.

Flowers in the Night

Flowers in the night
Do they notice the street light?
A breeze from the west

Another meditation from an evening walk. These walks clear my mind of the day’s mania. Thus they’re very welcome to me.

Oh, the VW Bus!

My love for these vans
A classic stylization
Grand branding ethos

I do adore the classic, type 2 VW bus. These speak to my heart in ways I’ve really not fully mapped out. But they are quite fun, even if they’re not the most practical.

The night is waning 

Light slowly filters through clouds 

Steel now starts flowing 


Happy Thursday everyone! Or, shall I say, Friday-eve. 

Thinking about flinging myself into the jaws of grinding steel and plastic that’s Seattle during rush hour.

A walk through the dark
Moving over the boardwalk
The quiet’s beauty

I enjoyed editing this one. The texture is wonderful, at least to me.
