Posted this poem on Instagram earlier today. I love responding to challenges.
Come and follow me there, too!
A Photo Inspired Haiku
joyful floral scents
moments of urban beauty soon,
war’s horrors rise
I wrote this haiku after seeing the post below. Such a lovely photo coming a breath before the horror of World War I.

Tonight’s Haiku, April 29, 2020
​in the light: judgment
in the darkness: acceptance.
moonlight through the clouds
A Spring Haiku, April 29, 2020
the motion of spring
bold new life; cherry blossoms
slowly fall to earth
Tonight’s Haiku, April 28, 2020
the calmness of night
the birds have fallen silent
flowers in the rain
gazing at the moon
I touch the lake; ripples form
across the night’s sky
Haiku, Monday Morning, April 27, 2020
This bouquet of spring
A celebration of life
Sunlight through the trees
Can you believe that this is the last Monday in April? May first is Friday! I noticed that the cherry blossoms are already starting to be shed, the last trees now filled with blossoms. Spring now fully present, at least in Seattle.
I hope this finds you safe and well.
Tonight’s Haiku: April 26, 2020
as night has fallen
the cool rain starts falling
trees move in the breeze
A reasonably pleasant spring day, high clouds and lacking in rain. Perhaps a bit muggy as the air was still. As the sun set, the breeze picked up. Once night fell. The rain started. Now, this is Seattle. So, not a downpour, but the well known Seattle drip.
I remained indoors most of the day. Got out for a roughly one hour walk, then grabbed dinner at the nearby 5 Guys. And then back to quarantine.
How’s it going where you are?
