this winter rainfall
gently upon the rooftop
silence of the night

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.

sunlight in the cold
bitter frost upon the grass
the grace of my coat
It’s been a cold couple of days here on the PNW. Looks like it’s been quite cold (brutal?) throughout a lot of the US. I’ve had the additional annoyance of fighting a nasty and belligerent cold. The remaining symptom: coughing. I’ve had to reschedule one dentist appointment, and that looks like it’ll become two. Sigh…
I hope 2025 has been kinder to you.

winter moves forward
cold air underneath the clouds
this infectious gloom

within winter's depths
and sunlight's power reduced
life resists the gloom

this cold rain
amidst barren trees
a rose blooms

clouds vibrant motion
brushing against the full moon
storms pass at nightfall

walking near the shore
under the autumnal dusk
glorious colors
An evening haiku: Super Moon
I wrote this one a few nights ago, after getting this shot of the Super Moon on my phone. It delighted me so.
autumn moon
gracing the cool sky
blessed silence

evening rainfall
flowing from a day of rain
into a calm night
Twas a rain filled day. Shifting between downpours, mists, and even a few moments of dryness with dark clouds
Crafted this image on Canva. I thought this font was fun. (It’s called Tan Pearl if you’re curious.)
I hope this finds you well.
