A Friday Night In The Suburbs

Birds break the silence
No cares for propriety
Suburbia’s charms

I hope your Friday night we lovely. Tis now time for slumber to dominate.

Tonight, As Sleep Approaches

Sleep approaches me
The darkness cocooning me
Rain gently falling

A busy day concluded. Time with dear friends exploring one of Seattle’s great landmarks. Now, though, it’s time to sleep. 

I hope your day was rewarding, that it was all you’d hoped it would be. 

Good night, dear ones, good night!

This Sunday Afternoon

The sky bright
Through many clouds
Moving quickly
Above the trees
Sunlight caressed
By the wind

A first thought this early morn 

​A gentle breeze blows 

Branches scrape against my house 

This brusque goose-like cry

Startles me abruptly 

Reflecting From Stone

Reflection

Staring at myself
Wetted marble captures me
As I seek balance

If you’ve been to Seattle’s Pacific Science Center, you’ve probably noticed the marble sphere balanced upon water. A perfect equilibrium which allows for an ease of motion; it can be shifted with one hand. 

 

A Rainy Evening Haiku

Moonlight hides from me 

Behind the rain laden clouds 

Spots on my glasses
