Seattle – Word Shaper

Morning Haiku: July 23, 2026

ah, a chance of rain!
onto this parched neighborhood
blessed potential

all eyes on their phones
an osprey catches a fish
only I notice

on the edge of dreams 
the windchimes' lullaby 
luring me closer

waiting for dawn
eastern hills remain dark 
rattling raindrops

the wind’s aggression
flinging branches to the earth
this winter’s darkness

the bumblebee lives
underneath the same sunlight
as the hummingbird

cloudy morn
chatter from the crows
collaboration

memories of dusk
treetops hidden by the night 
silent memories

a moment of rain
then the sun bursts forth
what does the future hold?

sunlight descending 
brightening western mountains 
quiet witnesses
