Dawn has not yet broke
Though the eastern sky brightens
This new winter’s day
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.
Dawn’s light shining west
As it crests the eastern hills day
Feeling winter’s chill
I love dawn. I always feel deep potential. The possibilities feel endless.
A Night View
Looking to the west
Lights flicker in the darkness
City filled with stars
A haiku at the end of a busy day
A busy day ends
I find it hard to focus
This winter evening
A haiku at the end of this busy day. Family after church, this period where birthdays intersect with major holidays.
A Windy Night Calms
Now in night’s darkness
The air has become silent
Peacefulness reclaimed
It’s now calm as the wrong storm has passed through Seattle. Hope all you Seattle area folks got through relatively unscathed. Sure seems a bit of a mess right now.
Facing fear, putting it in its placeÂ
​Fears can speak loudly
We must learn to not let them
Paralyze our will
In this night’s quiet
Siren’s call carries quite far
Winter’s night prayer
Sound carries far on the cold, late autumn night.
Tonight’s Haiku: The Movement Of Seasons
My dreams keep moving
In an arc around the sky
Autumn’s now winter
Moments of Clarity: This Evening’s Haiku
While I look skyward
Moments of clarity shine
This cold autumn sky
Beauty in the Night: Today’s Haiku
Nighttime had fallen
The beauty in the darkness
Lights shining brightly
I wish each of you a peaceful and restful night. My the bright spots shining in the night inspire you, and warm your hearts.
