Nightly Haiku, August 11

Tonight’s Haiku

Air in motion
Night sings ancient songs
Trees sway in the dark

Experimenting with Adobe Spark. Really enjoying the app.

Morning Coffee, A #Haiku

​Coffee’s gracefulness 

Awakening our brain cells

Enabling life 


The elixir of life: coffee! Memories of Seattle cafes in the 90s, a broke young man seeking moments of grace. Warmth in the winter rain, another grace. Warm memories of friends and conversation, of connecting with history’s great minds. Coffee consumed, generations apart, cold winter’s rain ensuring the seat, by the window, wondrous.

Grace: A Haiku

Here is my contribution to today’s Word of the Day challenge: Grace.

I think a lot about grace. Its importance both to us, and to society. How grace enables humans to function together, and is the magic elixir that ends conflict. And that grace is undervalued, perhaps even reviled. We live in brutal times, my friends.

A summer’s evening haiku

through the summer’s sun

life drips down upon the earth

bees sing merrily

Early Morning #Haiku, July 20, 2020

in the morning air

humanity is silent

I hear the birds sing

July is marching past. August approaches quickly. I doubt I’ll be ready, but the universe doesn’t care. Always forward motion, I do my best to prepare. 

A Friday Morning Haiku Near Seattle

these grey morning skies

echoing my memories

birdsong calming me

These grey, cloudy mornings are a part of my soul.
