Early morning thoughts
As I prepare for my day
Focusing my life
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 Wish
​This child limping
Long for Jesus’s power
To heal with a touch
Sunset: A Haiku
The colors of dusk
A crescent moon ascending
Autumnal air brisk
A haiku while walking in Everett
History in bricks
Such elegant stateliness
An autumn sunset

My family’s love
Pushing me to keep growing
Enriching my life

I hear Siouxsie Sioux

Cities in the dust

Autocorrected AnnoyancesÂ
Now I grow weary
Of fixing autocorrect
And its bad choices

A morning journey
Off to the nearby island
With people I love

Year’s Cold EdgeÂ

I feel fear’s cold edge
Darkness descending early
Wearing my wool clothes
Autumn’s presence now permeates the air. Leaves fall with vigor.
Lessons about WinningÂ
I struggle to see
That “not losing” and “winning”
Are not the same thing
I’ve been working on myself lately. Adjusting my.mind, embracing the possibilities, and releasing all the fears lurking within, holding me back.
