under the starlight
a momentary pause
the city grinds on
Nights in the city have a magic to them, don’t they?
Tag: Daily Haiku
I adore the simplicity, as well as the challenge of Haiku. The constraints focus my mind, seeking out the essence of the moment, feeling, notion, distilling it to brilliant singularity.
My goal: to post at least one haiku a day.
A Walk Along The Waterfront
through fading sunlight
walk along the waterfront
filled with memories
Most of my life orbited the Edmonds waterfront, just north of Seattle. My grandparents lived here. So many memories of walking with my grandfather here, sometimes riding the ferry. He loved talking with everyone, hearing their stories. His gift of listening appreciated.
A Walk In The Woods
through the nearby woods
the way, today, much drier
moving through winter
This evening’s haiku, January
Yesterday’s moonlight
Interwoven amidst dreams
Drifting through my mind
Haiku, January 4, 2021
resisting the wind
amidst winter’s aggressions
life’s tenacity
January 2, 2021
under damp branches
swaying underneath the breeze
stump returns to earth
Memories of Tomorrow
from moon and stars
memories of tomorrow
drifting between dreams
I love this image I found on Adobe Spark. Might be via Pexals, but when I’m on the app, it’s not at all clear. But it’s a very fun haiku.

Ah! Windows update!
Monday morning with crisp air
Crows laughing outside
Tuesday Morning, December 22, 2020
morning darkness
unwanted wakefulness;
listening to the rain
Haiku, December 13, 2020
looking up at dusk
the stars starting to appear
the fog of my breath
