When we start anew
Beginnings have excitement
Amidst falling leaves
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.
An Autumn Night At The Shore
Underneath the moon
And this glorious sunset
Autumnal beauty
Autumn’s Evolution
In morning darkness
Leaves transforming, preparing
For winter to come
Proactively Dealing With Fear
Proactive or not
Fear demands our attention
This calm, Autumn night
There are times I hate waking up
Dawn’s aggressive touch
Forcing me up from my sleep
Unwelcome, awake
Exploring Downtown Seattle
My home was once there
The outward shape is still there
And yet, it’s transformed
Walking these old streets
Visions of dirty concrete
Echoes of our past
Grime and poverty
Once marked these streets with their truth
Now airbrushed away
Walking with dear friends
Explorations of this past
Amongst my future
A positive haiku for your Tuesday
A new day begins
Full of opportunity
Don’t let your fears win
Seeking Tranquility
As I still my mind
I’m seeking tranquility
In this autumn night
Pursuing ExcellenceĀ
Believe in God’s light
Become the best I can be
Pursue excellence
Ownership is Empowerment
Ownership gives strength
The problems of someone else
Will never get solved
A haiku which considers the importance of owning our problems, and empowering ourselves to find solutions.
