A Pluviophile’s Delight

rain is predicted
delights pluviophiles
Seattle winters

As a live-long Seattleite, I hold a certain fondness for rain. One tempered with topical annoyance, and occasional despair. Yet, for the most part, I enjoy rain. The sound upon my roof. Watching the rain from a street-side café, listening to jazz. So much of my life revolves around liquid precipitation.

Rain will soon Fall

rain will soon fall
I will feel the warmth
of memories

Posted this earlier today on my Instagram feed. I wanted to share it with you, too.

Morning: A Haiku

This Weekly Prompt appeared (haiku) in my feed today. As I love mornings, it felt quite nice to create this haiku as a part.

Looking Skyward

Droplets on a Leaf

I caught sight of this leaf while walking back to my car. I captured this photo with my Samsung S9. Quite impressive for a rather obsolete camera, at this point.

Today’s Word Of The Day Haiku: Sad

do you know I’m sad?

tears hidden by rain


This is my contribution to today’s Word of the Day Challenge: Sad. Fitting, I guess, for a rainy, gloomy day in Seattle. Many days like today’s hosted sadness. Lately, though, even in the midst of the pandemic, I feel calmness, tranquility.
