in the light: judgment
in the darkness: acceptance.

Tonight’s Haiku, April 29, 2020
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.
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
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?

the clouds dream of me
A Drippy #Seattle #Haiku: #NaPoWriMo2020
Another photo from my walks. This tree really impressed and delighted me, especially with the fading light.
Another damp day in quarantine here in Seattle. How’d you day go?

the air this spring night
coolest touch upon my face
footsteps though silence
Tonight’s Haiku: Frogsong
approaching a pond
delighting in the frogsong
Basho’s memory
Walking in my neighborhood, there are a few ponds. Tonight I noticed the frogsong…for the first time this spring. I doubt the frogs have been silent until tonight. Probably just the first night I was out late enough.

grey motion above the trees
the colors of spring
A #haiku: moonlight through the trees
with the clock’s motion
moonlight hidden by the trees
