An Autumn Sunday Morning

autumnal daylight
crisp, cool air awakens me
I reach for my tea

I woke to a lovely autumn morning. The rain holding off until a convenient time opens up possibilities. Yet, I expect to spend most of the day in front of a computer.

Porchlight Haiku

The light has faded
I see my breath by porch light
The song of raindrops

A cool, drearily rainy end to the day. Chilled into discomfort, but not pain, only the mildest of inconveniences. But December approaches quickly, even though we still have trees with leaves on them.

Wednesday Morning

dawn moves through the clouds
hope ripples through the puddles
tea’s steam awakens

A Seattle autumn morning, rainy and cool. Strange senses of home.

A Friday Afternoon Sight

afternoon motion
underneath the hazy sky
magestic fungus

Saw this gem on my afternoon walk. I’m fond of toadstools.

A Night Haiku

I embrace the night

rain flows from forgotten roofs

safe inside my coat


Another experiment with Adobe Spark.

Keep Breathing

​Keep breathing deeply

Listen to the birds singing

Sunlight upon trees


Life’s tensions overwhelm at times. Remember to stop, focus on breathing deeply,controlled. Today, while doing this, the bird’s singing became vibrant. It’s what’s really important in life. 

The Heat of Summer

I really appreciate that Fandango picked up the theme of Word of the Day challenges. Today’s word is “finish”.

The heat of summer
I long for it to finish.
I do love autumn
