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?
December 19, 2020: Rainy Day Haiku
Tag: winter
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.
A Cold Near Spring Breeze: Tonight’s Haiku
the wind blowing cold
painful to fingers and face
sun upon the mountains
Near Spring Haiku
A Worn RV
so many miles
weathered and worn by life
a cold biting wind
A Rainy Day Haiku
rain induced darkness
overhead clouds bring dampness
winter’s grip still hurts
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?
Winter in Seattle: A Haiku
longing for sunlight
amid the dampness and cold
childhood memories
My childhood had some glorious moments in the tropics, when I lived in the Philippines. Dark, dreary drippy days sometimes bring forth a longing for those days.
Sunday Night Haiku
A windy Edmonds day
southern wind challenges
trees bending with the waves
seagulls’ airborne dance
