Winter advances
Yet the solstice passed us by
Change is approaching
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.
Alarm Clocks: A Haiku
Just ten minutes more
As the clock keeps beckoning
The demands of life
Roll The Clocks Back
I sometimes wonder
If we should roll our clocks back
Into sundials
Gregorian Chant: A Haiku
Ancient words now sung
Prayers chanted, incense rising
Candlelit stone walls
So many memories within cathedral walls. Chanted prayer always makes my heart soar. Gently, though, like a bird on the wing. Not garish as a jet.
Fears
A strange fear of mine
To vanish into time’s mists
Forgotten notebooks
Denying Hope
So much of life lost
Since we deny so much hope
Leaves starting to fall
The Day’s End
The day’s ending here
A busy and full day done
Now to calm my mind
This started before 6:00 am and stretched until I got home a little after 10:30. A reasonably productive day, which makes me happy. But, well, that’s really long. And I’m tired. So, good night my friends.
Wild Roses
wild roses
gathered by the child
captured sunlight
Seattle’s Smoky Air
Smoke and haze return
Our murky air unpleasant
Awaiting a good rain
Labor Day: A HaikuÂ
Thanks to those who stood
Refusing to accept things
And speak for justice
Word Shaper
