Raindrops bead upon petals

Raindrops bead upon petals

this break in the rain 
raindrops bead upon petals
winter arrives soon

Rainfall at Night

Rainfall

rainfall in the night 
singing across my rooftop
the song of winter

This night of wind and rain, gently announcing winter’s approach. Laying in bed listening, remembering, so many omemories of rain in the darkness.

A Late Autumn Haiku


visions of autumn
daylight moves through clouds and rain
soon, soon winter comes 

Under the Clouds

Under the Clouds

set under the clouds
my city moves through the rain
while fueled by coffee


A rainy day here, just north of Seattle. One that brings me memories of northwestern Oregon. The winter rains in Astoria where my feet were my main mode of transportation. I guess that came from the heavy weight of the rain drops along with their coldness.

Awoke to Birdsong

awoke to birdsong
slowly the sun rises
hinting at springtime

The birds were quite boisterous this morning. Looks like spring is nearly here. Though this hasnโ€™t been that burial of a winter around here, I am ready for spring. Are you?

Winter Berries

Elderberries

winter bares food, too
and the birds know where to seek
so life continues

Found these berries on a recent walk. Summer, of course, bursts with live giving foods for all. Winter, it seems, is more stealthy. But food is present!
