in this autumn rain flowers feel the grasp of time morning moving past

I adore the simplicity, as well as the challenge of Haiku. The constraints focus my mind, seeking out the essence of the moment, feeling, notion, distilling it to brilliant singularity.
Autumn Leaves
in this gentle breeze reddened leaves dance graceful in the morning mist
It’s been a busy week. I started fall quarter and ended up with a stomach bug. Those two items sucked up the majority of my time. I’ll have more updates shortly.
I hope everyone of you is well and that you’re feeling refreshed and re-energized.
A Rainy Day Haiku
rain upon my face joyous autumnal breezes all the earth refreshed
Today’s Haiku: A Heavy Rain
ferocious rain falls
battering leaves and flowers
days fade into night
nature's graceful force always pushing us forwards through autumnal rains
Ah, a lovely, rainy near-autumn morning here in Seattle. Autumn is my favorite season, so this fills me with happiness. And I expect my brown lawn is rejoicing with the rain.
I created this with Canva. The image is not mine, but a complementary one in Canva. Motion in text is something I am exploring deeper. Yeah, this isn’t that terribly challenging, but I’m all for small steps.
Monday morning haiku
dawn upon the clouds
hints of red within the leaves
gentle morning mists
Today’s Haiku and Graphic
political signs
laying forgotten in the weeds
within autumn rain
Summer’s Walk
this vibrant blue sky
delightful Summertime warmth
autumn approaching
This is a tree I’ve walked by myriad times. Today, with a cloudless sky, I stood out on my walk. Though it’s still summer weather, the crispness of autumn makes its presence known. Soon…very soon, summer will retire. As much as I love summer autumn holds a dear place one my heart.
Haiku: September 4, 2021
as the summer fades
at the air somewhat cooler
boldest of flowers
Lily Pads
deep within the woods a pond with lily pads dragonflies pass by
The above haiku is my response to today’s “Baffled Haiku Challenge“, a daily prompt posted on Twitter by the user Baffled. I try to contribute daily to this community. It’s a pretty awesome group of people.
