In morning darkness
Leaves transforming, preparing
For winter to come
poetry, prose, and photography
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.
In morning darkness
Leaves transforming, preparing
For winter to come






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 new day begins
Full of opportunity
Don’t let your fears win
Ownership gives strength
A haiku which considers the importance of owning our problems, and empowering ourselves to find solutions.

There’s so much despair
We can fail to see beauty
The colors of dawn
