The bees grab my eye
After a few-hours’ hike
A summertime view
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.
Last Night
Watching the sun set
And the sky’s colors redden
This feeling of home
A mountain side #haiku
On this mountain trail
Bees feeding upon flowers
Mists clear from the peaks
A Dim Sum Haiku
Flavors of China
Dancing upon my palette
I can eat outdoors
Tonight’s haiku is about dim sum.
The leaves above me: a #haiku
As I look upwards
These leaves’ beautiful pattern
A sign of illness
A rainy Seattle #haiku
Rain falls gracefully
Flowers forgot the sunlight
This moment passes
Facing Westwards: Tonight’s #Haiku
I’m facing westwards
And mountains cover the sun
A sweet summer night
This one was fun to make. It makes me quite happy.
Awoke by sirens: an early morning #haikuÂ
Awoke by sirens
Deep in the pre-dawn darkness
I say a prayer
A Sunny Saturday
Honey bees feasting
Sunlight flowing from the sky
Such summer delights
My life: currently in transition. The current job comes to end in five weeks. So I actively seek my next opportunity. It’s there. I feel it. I’m excited about what the future holds. Yet, I don’t know where it is. Uncertainty presents challenges, certainly. I write more about that here.
