Haiku: January 27, 2026

as the daylight fades
the mountains burst with color
and birds seek their rest

with the night falling
the air drifts below freezing
the day drifts westward

I am relaunching this site and reclaiming the poetry focus. You read about that over here.

With this, I plan to restart my haiku-a-day series. Head over to my homepage and subscribe!

clawing through the clouds
sunlight mingles with the rain
a winter’s day born

Ah, another winter’s morning starts here in Seattle!

the wind’s aggression
flinging branches to the earth
this winter’s darkness

the wind in the trees

gracefully flowing forward

with its blessed song

mists through the cedars

the echoes of ancestors

remain vigilant

mighty moose minions

mitigate mouse munitions

mad malevolence

I opted for something alliterative today. And something absurdist. Just wanted to have some fun. I hope it amused you like it did me.

with night descending
flowers proceed to slumber
a racoon prowling
