gossamer tendrils
eight legs and eyes looking out
dew drop jewels capture
Word of the Day Challenge: River
My contribution to today’s Word of the Day Challenge: River.
this tranquil motion
combined destructive power
river’s dual nature
A river, though sometimes calm and tranquil, and sometimes raging through storms, always erodes it’s surroundings. No matter the gentleness of the moment, there’s inexorable change, micron by micron, creating canyons and corroding mountains. Water’s gentleness is deceptive.
Early Morning, June27, 2020
an ocean of sound
boldly starting the day
the sky remains dark
Pre-dawn tones, birds and insects chatter, apart yet together. Robins, crickets, then crows: acoustic motion across my consciousness.
Saturday morning, just a few more days left of June. Many types of chronological motion, too, greying my hair. Speaking to me of near ancient memories. Ancient, at least, in terms of humanity, of human life-spans.
Summer Afternoon Haiku
call of summer light
feeding of vigorous life
ready for fresh rains
A Summertime Haiku
jaunty tunes
wheels bearing
iced confections
Summertime is upon us. It’s definitely arrived in Seattle, though looks like it might pause this weekend. I hope you’re feeling the pleasent joys summer brings.
Seattle Memories
​Calming coolness upon me
Memories of walking, early morning, Seattle
Along the peak of Capitol Hill
Downwards through the city
Before urban life starts
Before thousands of coffee cups
Deliver their payloads
Of productivity

dawn crawls through trees
red skies setting the theme
hope within the new
Early Morning, June 23, 2020
outside my window
silent darkness
tranquility
Haiku, June 22, 2020
petal dynamics
unfolding in the sunlight
grace in thankfulness
