An Autumnal Stroll
Tag: haiku
I love the sound of wind through the trees
wind blows through these trees
memories awakening
tranquility’s song
Urban Flower: A Haiku
upon the roadside
waiting for the bees to come
embracing sunlight
My Response to Today’s Word of the Day Challenge: Fresh
suburban wanders
as fresh cut grass’ scent dances
memories awake
Today’s Word of the Day Challenge features “fresh”. As it’s spring here in the suburbs of Seattle, and I’m listening to a mower’s drone, this flowed from my keyboard.
Mists flowing the trees
mists flowing through trees
moisture upon the petals
dreaming of the sun
Word of the Day Challenge: Traffic, A Haiku
feet moving southwards
a moment free of traffic
memories of the road
Today’s Word of the Day Challenge is Traffic. I took the photo above on one of last week’s daily walks. Memories of long-ago road trips. That moment of breaking free from the urban, of the slog of traffic, facing the freedom, and cruelty, of the road. Washington and Oregon’s backroads, where one goes for miles without seeing other cars. When you do, only the briefest intersection, a burst of rushing wind, abruptly quieting to nothing. Only my engine’s hum remains.
A Walk In The Woods
underneath the trees
sunlight and clouds dance above
feet upon the earth
Kissed by Sunlight
kissed by the sunlight
dancing upon the spring breeze
the arc of petals
Snoozing Through Winter
snoozing through winter
slowly awakening
morning’s gentle rain
Today’s “Word of the Day Challenge” is Snooze. These words came while watching rhododendron blooms slowly come to life this week.
Mysteries
next to the sidewalk
what strange story exists here?
