awaiting sunlight
car engines join their choir
the motion of life

Tonight’s Haiku: January 29, 2026
as gentle mists fall
streetlights flicker through the dreams
the song of the night
An evening haiku
memories of dusk
treetops hidden by the night
silent memories
An evening haiku
at the day’s ending
sunlight fades into the sea
gentle grace of night
A haiku at dusk
with dusk descending
and gently fading sunlight
flowers get their fill
Today’s Morning Haiku
with my morning tea
the gentlest of breezes
sunlight through the clouds
I love calm mornings. Today, Seattle’s weather seems to be pivoting from rain to partially cloudy. Blue skies punctuated with white clouds. Summer’s heat abated, whether temporarily or for the rest of the year is uncertain, but I’ll take the respite.
Autumn Approaches
orange and red leaves
as i gaze out my window
glories of autumn
The maple just outside my office window already shows autumn colors. Of course, September approaches quickly. Less than a week (Sunday) brings the new month. As tempting as it might be to make some reference to the passing of time, it doesn’t feel very creative.
Haiku: August, 25, 2024
after the rainfall
sunlight moves from behind clouds
summer reaches far
Today’s haiku
this gentle rainfall
droplets sparkle in the light
while spring approaches
I created this haiku with TikTok’s built in tools. Then I posted it to Instagram amongst other places. These are lots of fun to create.
Anyway, I hope you had a good “extended Monday” (yesterday was the President’s Day holiday in the US).
Today’s Haiku Challenge: Jasmine
hints of jasmine
linger in my memory
intense yet hazy
This haiku is my contribution to today’s “haiku challenge” on Twitter.
I’ve been contributing to this for years. It’s one of my favorite parts of Twitter. As the Musk saga devolves, it’s what keeps me coming back. There a delightful community surrounding the challenge.
The image was crafted with Adobe Express using the Lara font.
