An evening haiku: Super Moon

I wrote this one a few nights ago, after getting this shot of the Super Moon on my phone. It delighted me so.

autumn moon
gracing the cool sky
blessed silence

Today’s Morning Haiku

with my morning tea
the gentlest of breezes
sunlight through the clouds

I love calm mornings. Today, Seattle’s weather seems to be pivoting from rain to partially cloudy. Blue skies punctuated with white clouds. Summer’s heat abated, whether temporarily or for the rest of the year is uncertain, but I’ll take the respite.

Autumn Approaches

Today's haiku
orange and red leaves
as i gaze out my window
glories of autumn

The maple just outside my office window already shows autumn colors. Of course, September approaches quickly. Less than a week (Sunday) brings the new month. As tempting as it might be to make some reference to the passing of time, it doesn’t feel very creative.

A rainy day haiku

amidst these rain squalls
and the claps of thunder
calmness with my tea

I created this image with Canva. The image is a stock image that’s included in the app.

Ghosts Of My Dreams


these ghosts of my dreams
wandering amidst echoes
lost in the sunlight

This is my first exploration into Adobe’s Express beta. I think they’ve done a great job with the UI. It’s a smooth and straightforward, to me at least. Express doesn’t go to deep into the Adobe way of doing things, which works fine for your devotees, but is not terribly intuitive for the uninitiated. Anyway, it might well replace my dependence on Canva.

Evening Haiku

This evening’s haiku
between the rain squalls 
sunlight mellowed by the clouds
petals unfurling

Descending Sunlight


the grace of the sun 
as it descends through the leaves
greeted by flowers
