morning darkness
unwanted wakefulness;
listening to the rain

A winter morning
raindrops sing
a melancholy tune
my tea cup cools
December 19, 2020: Rainy Day Haiku
this December day
under my feet cold ripples
keep moving forward
Cold, rainy day. Ripples in the puddles. For me, this means home. What about you?
Always in a Rush
always in a rush –
sunlight drifts across the trees
raindrops upon roofs
Wrote this one early this morning as part of Baffled’s Haiku Challenge (on Twitter). I appreciate his daily challenges, forcing me to stretch my mind. Also, these haiku are a great way to keep my Adobe skills sharp. I create most of my posts right now with Adobe Spark.
Today’s desire: capture the feeling of a cold, dark, winter’s morning in Seattle. Today was dreary and damp, hence the focus. I opted for the Playfair font. A unique font, with understated serifs.
Walking at Night: a Haiku
feet upon pavement
headlights move through the darkness
facelessly pass by
Walking last night, stepping over and around puddles, remembering so many other nights. An element of this Seattle life.
Haiku: November 30, 2020
dawn’s promise rises
I listen intently
as the crows argue
An Autumn Morning
clear autumnal morn
bare branches in the still air
refreshed by silence
Walking in the Rain
Moving through the leaves
As the rain begins to fall
These autumnal strolls
Though I got drenched, I did get a poem out of it.
A rainy Monday Morning
Morning arrives
Sunlight ascending
Through autumn mists
An Autumn Sunday Morning
autumnal daylight
crisp, cool air awakens me
I reach for my tea
I woke to a lovely autumn morning. The rain holding off until a convenient time opens up possibilities. Yet, I expect to spend most of the day in front of a computer.
