Sunday Morning Haiku, February 16, 2020

​dawn’s light with pink hints

birds wake and continue life

a sauntering cat 

Tonight’s Haiku: February 14, 2020

so much I recall

sunlight streams in through windows

chatter of songbirds

Memories of joy, of sadness, all flow at random moments. When my mind floats free I rediscover history, these elements within, forgotten but not lost. 

Seattle Pre-Dawn: A Haiku

​jet growls overheard

with rain falling gracefully

awaiting the dawn

Sitting here, finishing a poem, while preparing for my day. 


Today’s Black History Month Meditation: Gwendolyn Brooks

Cherish each moment. Life’s too short. And there are no “do-overs”. 

A Lunar Haiku

at this brief moment

the clouds dancing with the moon

as winter deepens

Such a lovely moon this evening.

another morning

rain gently tapping windows

abandoned cobwebs

Early morning, life starts to stir, Seattle’s rainy tendencies reach their fullest expression. Not the monsoons of my childhood, rather, regular, continuous drip. The weather presents challenges for many. 

A Haiku For A Rainy Seattle Morning

rain taps my window

echoing through memories

graveyard with damp grass

I listen to the gentle patter of the rain, memories full my head. Sitting in my bay window watching the rain. Laying in my childhood bed. Sitting in cafes, drying from walking, coffee welcome warmth. 

Does rain’s sound trigger any memories for you?
