poetry, prose, and photography
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.
as flowers arise glories of springtime renewed boisterous colors
The past few days have seen this rhododendron, long part of my front yard, erupting with blooms. Though my allergies are now in full fury, I still delight in these.
This poem is my response to the Word of the Day Challenge. Today’s word is “Arise”.

this burst of blossoms underneath these moving clouds a break in the rain
before the rainfall
feeling the grace of sunlight
these wonders of spring
dark clouds to the west despite the ominous signs continue moving
underneath the snow
so much of life is asleep
dreaming about spring
cold autumnal rain
sunlight returned joyfully
memories at night
I was able to fit a walk in between rain and wind. Found this lovely bundle of resistance peeking through the shrubs.
rainfall in the night
singing across my rooftop
the song of winter
This night of wind and rain, gently announcing winter’s approach. Laying in bed listening, remembering, so many omemories of rain in the darkness.
visions of autumn daylight moves through clouds and rain soon, soon winter comes
clouds move
across the autumn sky
this dance of sunlight
limbs mostly bare
a few tenacious leaves cling
dawn's light creeps westward
