dawn’s light absent
darkness on cherry blossoms
when shall I make tea?
I appreciate every motivation to write. NaPoWriMo’s goal of a poem a day fits what I’m trying to do with this blog. I hope you enjoy!

Today’s #Haiku, #Spring Arrives Amidst #Covid19
though we sit indoors
birds’ harmonies reach my ear
spring has still arrived
The seasons care not for the concerns of humanity. Spring arrives no matter our preparedness, nor our desires. Life continues its motion.
I hope this finds you healthy and safe. How are you adapting to our new life?
A Spring Haiku
a riot of blossoms
celebration of new life
soon fluttering down
I walk by this tree regularly. It’s been daily during the lockdown. Spring is fully on. The blossoms lovely, temporary. Perhaps that’s part of their; their impermanence. So very Zen of me, I guess.
Saturday Morning Haiku
wind chimes
early morning darkness
birds sing to my tea
Everyone else is asleep in my house. I’m very fond of these quiet moments. I hope all of you are safe and healthy.
A Spring Afternoon
sunlight flows downwards
fir trees grasping towards the clouds
a gentle spring breeze
Sidewalk in Black & White
my movement is life
concrete underneath my feet
sunlight through the clouds
Shot the photo while on a walk near home, then edited in Instagram. Original is color, but black and white just felt right.
Views from today’s walk
suburban walking
humor in this time of fear
crows laughing boldly
The Blue Sky Beckons
the blue sky beckons
one blossom reaches the sky
gravity ignored
This Afternoon’s Walk
More signs of springtime
As I walk in the sunlight
Birds’ discourse above
A Moment Outdoors
a moment outdoors
springtime’s flowers greeting me
with social distance
