Oh Teriyaki! A Haiku

with its sweetened glaze

over glorious chicken

Seattle’s great dish

I’m extremely fond of teriyaki, and usually have some at least once a week. Everytime I start a new job or move, finding a new teriyaki shop is an immediate goal.

What’s you’re favorite food?

Orion’s Belt, Tonight’s Haiku

where the rain clouds were

I now see Orion’s Belt

a cold winter’s walk

The clear sky this evening, a welcome reprieve from the recent gloom. Made for a lovely, if rather cold, evening walk.

How was your evening?

A Haiku From Today’s Walk

an afternoon stroll wind dancing upon the clouds my mind and soul clear Walking clears my mind. Always helpful and healthy, at times critical to my mental health. And health is a 2020 priority.

A haiku about self doubts

garbage in my brain insecurity’s drivel damaging my dreams So many negative feelings. Why things lije self doubt dominates our brain cycles eludes me. But I seek to overcome this.

Seattle Pre-Dawn: A Haiku

​jet growls overheard

with rain falling gracefully

awaiting the dawn

Sitting here, finishing a poem, while preparing for my day. 


another morning

rain gently tapping windows

abandoned cobwebs

Early morning, life starts to stir, Seattle’s rainy tendencies reach their fullest expression. Not the monsoons of my childhood, rather, regular, continuous drip. The weather presents challenges for many. 

A Haiku For A Rainy Seattle Morning

rain taps my window

echoing through memories

graveyard with damp grass

I listen to the gentle patter of the rain, memories full my head. Sitting in my bay window watching the rain. Laying in my childhood bed. Sitting in cafes, drying from walking, coffee welcome warmth. 

Does rain’s sound trigger any memories for you?

An Edmonds Haiku

Edmonds ferry terminal at night

Along the water
Feeling the grace of motion
Rippling light waves
