A haiku from this evening’s walk

below the sunset

and the glorious red sky

soon the songbirds sleep

Moving through my neighborhood, a suburb of Seattle, as the sun does as it must. Gravity’s handiwork across this sky. Rain started to fall as I neared home.

Today’s Word of the Day Haiku: Contact

Carl Setzer2 Comments

Today’s “Word of the Day” challenge features “Contact”. I stared at the blank screen for few moments before I was able to start pulling this one together. One of yesterday’s photos came to mind. On my evening walk yesterday, I was watching the bees flit about these flowers. When this lady buzzed right into the flower in front of me, I was delighted to catch the moment.

flower to flower
the bees contact each petal
motion of springtime

Taking part in the Word of the Day challenge, where today’s word is “Opinion”. It seems fitting as spring flowers are starting to wane to talk about the falling blossoms.

gentle rain passes
starlings sing their opinions
cherry blossoms fall

at dawn’s appearance

crows are discussing the day

I returned to sleep

Good morning everyone! May your week exceed your expectations in every good way.

A Haiku Response To The Word Of The Day Challenge: King

I’ve decided to take part in today’s “Word Of The Day Challenge“, and the word is “King“. I, being me, opt for a haiku.

high above us all
king’s exercise their power
bird’s indifference
