At times
It is hard to remember
All the good in the world
Despair is a cruel teacher
Grapple with thankfulness
And accept the grace of love
That comes, truly, it comes
Often unexpectedly

A Quantuum Physics HaikuĀ
Quantum mechanics
With its weird magnificence
Lewis Carroll’s dream
A Goodnight Haiku
Eyelids drooping down
My weariness at day’s end
Preparing for bed
Tonight
Darkness comforts me
Slumber’s demands overwhelm
Sleep now command me
Exploring Home
I seek out beauty
The glories of Washington
My ancestors speak
These children grow tall
Look at these children
So tall, kind and wonderful
I’m filled with rich pride
A Monday Morning Haiku
This new week starting
So very many options
Soon, the mountains glow
It’s Monday, go make something great
This Sunday Afternoon
The sky bright
Through many clouds
Moving quickly
Above the trees
Sunlight caressed
By the wind
A first thought this early mornĀ
āA gentle breeze blows
Branches scrape against my house
This brusque goose-like cry
Startles me abruptly
A Seattle Morning Haiku
Seattle’s grey skies
Though they filter the sunlight
Bring me peacefulness
Word Shaper
