Under the Starlight

under the starlight

a momentary pause

the city grinds on

Nights in the city have a magic to them, don’t they?

Space Dance: A Haiku

beyond the sky’s edge
light dances in the darkness
such graceful motion


The photo is from NASA’s Hubble telescope. I fell in love with all things space as a young boy watching the lunar landing. It seemed natural to pen this haiku as I looked upon this image.

Summer Afternoon Haiku

Daisey on my walk, June 25, 2020

call of summer light

feeding of vigorous life

ready for fresh rains

#NaPoWriMo poem: April 8, 2020

amongst these tall trees

light now flowing from the east

songbirds still chatter

A #Sunday Night #Haiku

Standing in the sun

Light dances on my shoulder

Stop to see beauty

A #Haiku for your Sunday morning 

I’m up before dawn 

Light coming through my window 

I just need some tea 
I hope your Sunday recharges your soul, giving you energy and drive as we face a new week. 

A Walk Along The River

Along the river
My feet move through the sunlight
Serenity speaks

This Seattle Morn

Sunlight on the clouds

Silence dominates the air

The firs are aglow
