Mountain Peaks

Winter Berries

Elderberries

winter bares food, too
and the birds know where to seek
so life continues

Found these berries on a recent walk. Summer, of course, bursts with live giving foods for all. Winter, it seems, is more stealthy. But food is present!

Looking Skyward

arms reaching ever skyward

upon the path

moments of life in motion

through winter air

My Contribution to the @Baffled #HaikuChallenge

Today’s word: think.

underneath the trees
forest’s calmness helps me think
needed clarity

Forests calm me. Birdsong, the scent of firs, a gentle breeze. All bring tranquility.

Frost on the Grass

frost upon the grass
breadcrumbs for the Steller’s Jays
dawn’s tranquility

Friday Evening

The sun descending
Western mountains afire
Reaching for my dreams

It’s been a frenetic week, but productively so.

A Good Night Haiku

A summer’s evening haiku

through the summer’s sun

life drips down upon the earth

bees sing merrily

A Haiku Near A Bookstore

within this metal
this writer’s soul delighted 
festive tinsel’s song

Bellingham Moments, December 7, 2019

grey skies fill my eyes

raindrops linger in my dream

coffee’s beauty reins
