Failed Motion: Tonight’s Haiku
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.
New Opportunities
life’s changes
new opportunities
cherry blossoms
I saw these blooms at Edmonds Community College today. I am moving forward with my career transition plan. My current position ends Friday, and I’ve grown weary of being let go all the time. So I’m going to study Web Design and Development. This excites me deeply.
Forward, always moving forward.
A haiku from this evening’s walk
moving through darkness
quiet, my old companion
graceful solitude
Cherry Blossoms
ah, cherry blossoms!
hints that spring is almost here
bold chattering birds

sunset through mountains
gulls climbing skyward with grace
branches still barren
Brunch in #Edmonds
A light mist outside
Delightfully warm within
My grandfather’s voice
My grandparents started coming to Edmonds’ Pancake Haus when it opened, and remained faithful customers til the end. My wife and I go somewhat regularly, enough that the staff recognize our son and ask about him. This connection brings me joy.
Do have any place with similar connections?

A Haiku From Today’s Walk
A haiku about self doubts
garbage in my brain
insecurity’s drivel
damaging my dreams
So many negative feelings. Why things lije self doubt dominates our brain cycles eludes me. But I seek to overcome this.

​jet growls overheard
with rain falling gracefully
awaiting the dawn
Sitting here, finishing a poem, while preparing for my day.
