Often it’s mistakes
That demonstrate character
Kindness in the dark
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.
Friday Morning Haiku
Dawn comes earlier
Rain tapping on the sunlight
The Friday morning
Listening to the Spirit of Compassion
We love violence
This spirit of compassion
Still calling to us
Rainy Drives in Seattle
Rain falls in this town
The most regular event
And still we can’t drive
Bronze Lions
While I was driving
Upon a bronze lion: birds
Strange absurdities
Sunlight
I stand on a hill
Looking down across the grass
Sunlight fills my gaze
Suburban Sounds
I sit here typing
A buzz drifting through the air
Blades of grass shortened
A Yakima Medition
My mother was born
In a small Washington town
The dusty center
The importance of the arts
Each creative act
Exploring beauty’s boundaries
Brings more light to being
Morning moves forward
Morning moves forward
Dawn’s transition fades to light
Life, again, renewed
