The Arc of Sunlight
Category: Haiku
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.
Flowers Near The Trees
mountains to the west
sunlight upon the water
flowers near the trees
Forgotten Forests
against the darkness
memories of trees echoing
forgotten forests
Flowers on a Breezy Day
sunlight on meadows
flowers bouncing in a breeze
some favorite things
I’ve been exhausted the past few days as I’ve recovered from my second dose of the covid vaccine. But I’m feeling pretty darn good today.
A Momentary Pause
feasting on sunlight
brief bits of joyful color
momentary pause
A few days ago I was walking along the nearby waterfront. This burst of color captured my attention, both at the moment and then yesterday, which I spent resting, recovering from my second dose of Moderna. I got a fair amount done in spite of my day of rest, but I didn’t get a haiku posted.
Dose #2
a little arm pain
with a burst of weariness
I listen to birds
Jewels Upon Leaves
after the rainfall
clouds parting for the sunlight
jewels left on the leaves
A Walk in the Woods
passing under trees
the path dry from the spring sun
with the bold birdsong

My Response to Today’s Word of the Day Challenge: Fresh
suburban wanders
as fresh cut grass’ scent dances
memories awake
Today’s Word of the Day Challenge features “fresh”. As it’s spring here in the suburbs of Seattle, and I’m listening to a mower’s drone, this flowed from my keyboard.
