cold winter rain
early morning darkness
I shiver, alive
Sunday Morning
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.

WordPress Word Of The Day: Vendetta
standing under clouds
the squirrels and crows arguing
ancient vendettas?
I discovered the WordPress “Word of the Day” challenge a long-time ago. Getting these prompts helped keep my creative side engaged. Then the WordPress team ended that project. Fortunately, others have stepped up to keep that initiative going.
Today’s word is “vendetta“. A challenging word, especially for my focus on haiku. As I watch the crows and squirrels quibble over the breadcrumbs in my backyard, I came up with this one. I hope you enjoy it!
The Motion Of Life
sunlight reaching me
right through the clouds and the trees
the motion of life
A day where change culminated. Some joyful, some less so. Forward motion, though: progress.

Today’s word: think.
underneath the trees
forest’s calmness helps me think
needed clarity
Forests calm me. Birdsong, the scent of firs, a gentle breeze. All bring tranquility.
Morning Light
in the morning light
possibility singing
never surrender
