This day was quite good
Filled with blessings of friendship
Within winter’s chill
I hope you’ve found goodness in your life today.
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.
Laying in bed, reading
Laying in bed reading
As my focus is fading
I’ll write a poem
Refocusing: Tonight’s Haiku
Easy distractions
I do need those reminders
Of what’s important
It’s important to refocus, from time to time, preventing me from getting too caught up in the mindlessness.
A Pre-Dawn Haiku For #NaHaiWriMo and #SnowMageddon2019
I sit in the darkness
Free from fear’s anguished grasping
Earth covered in snow
Seattle’s first significant snow event this winter has disrupted our lives solidly. I miss the days i could walk to work, even in the snow. The roads have been quite treacherous. So, I’ve avoided them. Today, though, I really need to make my way into the office. It’ll be fun ,I’m sure.
The Grace Of Fresh Snow
I look at the night
Upon freshly fallen snow
I’m struck by the grace
It’s a beautiful, snowy night here in Seattle. It feels wonderful, though I dread tomorrow’s commute.
Releasing Perfection
Perfection released
Forever seeking to grow
Gentle humbleness
There’s a power in humility. Slowly I’m growing forward.
A Monday Morning Haiku
Outside the window
The predawn darkness remains
Cursing the alarm
Guess I have a case of the Mondays. Feeling exhausted still. Don’t feel i got enough rest over the weekend. What about you?
Tonight’s Haiku: On A Winter Walk
On a winter’s walk
As darkness approaches me
Loving the sky’s glow
Winter’s Cold Wind: A Haiku
Winter’s coldness speaks
I’m always moving forward
And the wind still blows
A meditation on brokenness
Am I more broken?
How does one compare such things?
I can hear the rain
