April 8, 2019: #Haiku

Walking down this trail
Raindrops passing through the trees
Seattle’s springtime

Monday morning #Haiku

Awakened pre-dawn 

My mind racing with ideas

New blossoms have come 


May your Monday start an  effective and rewarding week.

A Haiku From This Evening’s Walk

The water’s stillness

With the sun moving westward

Spring’s daylight now ends


I live about 30 miles north of Seattle. I adore walking along the Edmonds waterfront. Many of my shots posted here are from this small city. My history here goes back a few generations. Simply walking here brings forth memories of cousins, grandparents.

This Morning’s Sunrise: A #HaikuĀ 

The sun is rising

Always seek out the beauty

What’s focused on grows


Birdsong reaches through my window. My rest distracted. Dawn comes earlier each day. A blessing of the day. I love spring. 

SafetyĀ 

His soul hides

Deep within old leather covers 

Safe upon the shelf 

Sometimes pulled down 

Blowing dust free 

Forgotten poems read 

In the fading light 

Of dusk 

The Paradigm of Rage

​I reject the paradigm of rage 

Replacing that with kindness 

Seeking all the world’s beauty 

Then magnify it all
