This Seattle Morn

Sunlight on the clouds

Silence dominates the air

The firs are aglow

A Saturday morning haiku


Dawn has now long passed 

Life’s demands now driving me

And, thus, I’m rising

Awaken, my friends, and seize this day

This grey morning light 

This grey morning light 

Falls deftly through morning sky 

Clouds from the ocean 

The Passage of Heartbeats

Each moment passing 

Fading into memory 

Waiting on sunlight 

This Friday morning: a haiku

​And now dawn has come

Sleep kept this hidden from me

Until the birds called

A Monday Morning Haiku 

This new day begins

Filled with opportunity

As the daylight grows 

An Early Morning Haiku

Yes, I am awake

And the birds sing with vigor

Dawn has not yet come

I’m amazed at the number of birds singing right now. Well, I think one of the loudest sounds is an insect, but I digress.  It’s quite boisterous. Oddly, as daylight comes their sounds will quiet. Perhaps just supplanted by human noise. Perhaps. 

Saturday Morning Mid-May

Light flows across my blinds 

Bird dialog strikes my ears 

My room’s emptiness 

Speaks to my past 

And my future 

This morning’s haiku 

The darkness waning 

Hints of blue sky beckoning

This day, beginning 

A Good Morning Haiku For You 

Sunlight’s debuting
Early morning darkness fades
Sounds of spring arise 


Watching the dawn inch forward inspired this haiku. I anthropomorphise the sun, imagining pride and delight as humanity stirs underneath the reborn warmth. Perhaps there’s even love for us as we reawaken our striving. 

So, here’s to a new day, it’s blessed possibilities, and all the potential you bring.
