Early Morning Prayers

just a few doors down 
ambulance's flashing lights
early morning prayers

Gazing at the dusk

Dusk

gazing at the dusk
light dances upon the clouds
awaiting night's grace

Autumn Berries

Autumn Berries

autumnal progress
food provided for the birds
with the air cooling 

Autumn Leaves


as dusk approaches
changing leaves upon the breeze
sunlight turns to rain

An autumn flower

Autumn flower

underneath the mists
colors spring forth from the cold
autumn keeps moving

Seattle’s Rain Returns

red leaves

autumn's new vigor
as Seattle's rains return
bring much relief 

Early: A Haiku

Smokey Sunrise

in the early morn
as the sun's slowly climbing
above smoke-filled skies

Today’s Word of the Day Challenge features “Early”, which I discovered via Woolly Muses’ response. The accompanying photo is one I took this morning. It doesn’t do justice to the red skies this morning. Quite beautiful, even though they’re caused by the smoke.

Smokey Haze: A Haiku

Black and White Ferry

summer receding 
longing for this smokey haze
to fade in the rain

Autumn Rose

Autumn Rose

as the petals fall
upon the reddening leaves
life returns earthwards
