clouds across the sky
dancing upon mountain tops

Bees Speak In Code
the bees speak in code
can we hope to understand
secrets of petals?
The First Day Of Autumn
holding back the dawn
grey skies resisting sunlight
grace of rain soaked leaves
It’s a classic Seattle autumn morning. One that I delight in. I hope your autumn is off to a good start.
Today’s Word of the Day Challenge: Elation
Today’s Word of the Day Challenge: Elation
sunlight climbs mountains
elation and jubilee
a new day is born
Blessed Rain
rain’s grace
clouds hiding the sun’s face
beloved fresh air
Seattle’s rain is most welcome.
As Autumn Nears, I Remember Spring
Memories of spring
Rain rippling in puddles
Thinking of sweaters
Today filled with rain, cleansing Seattle’s air of the lingering smoke. Very, very welcome indeed.
Just a few days until autumn. Though I look forward to sweater weather, I dread the greater resistance to spending time outside. Something to overcome.
Praying for Rain
smoke lingers
hiding the sunlight
praying for rain
The air quality in Seattle is supposed to improve dramatically over the next day. And rain is in the forecast both today and tomorrow. Relief approaches!
Scent of Old Books
scent of old books
espresso machine’s song
hints of jazz piano
Thinking of Beat poets while listening to jazz this hazy, smokey Seattle morning.
Seattle Smoke
With my eyes stinging
And the sun hidden by smoke
I’m praying for rain
The smoke of the west coast is getting tiresome. Now, Seattle is much better off than many parts of the region, so I really can’t complain too much.
We are expecting the air quality to improve over the next few days, which I welcome greatly. I’m really looking forward to unimpeded breathing.
Across the dew drops
Across the dew drops
Dancing upon the petals
Not bruising egos
