Tonight’s Haiku

another spring day 
cherry blossoms scattering
fading memories

Wrote this one early this morning. Created this image in Canva.

Anyway, thanks for reading.

sleep’s evasive
the early morning darkness
hiding raindrops

Yeah, I should be asleep,

I’d prefer to be asleep

Yet that is not

My reality.

the sunlight fading
while the grace of spring flowers
bursts upon the trees

awakened by self-doubt

criticizing all I've done

so I face within

resisting these words

embracing all that I am

keep moving forward

streetlight’s reflection
ripples across the puddles
windchime’s gently tones

within the darkness 
listening to the rainfall 
the night's progression

in the bitter cold
the night moving with such grace 
soon dawn approaches

a few hints of snow
guarded by the bitter cold
graced by the starlight

sunlight's gentle way
moving slowly over snow 
clouds cover the sky

Another day with snow. This snow, though, has settled in. Nothing new during the day.

I created this in Canva, which is a lot of fun.

the morning snowfall
soon to be trampled by life
fading in the sun

The past few mornings have featured snow. Usually it’s melted by early afternoon. I’m grateful that it’s not become a giant ball of ice overnight.
