Chaos Tamer
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.

Today’s haiku video was created with Canva, a powerful freemium design tool. If you’re not familiar with it, I highly recommend it. The free version has plenty of functionality, and the premium versions are amazing without the high costs of Adobe.
A blogger I follow, WoollyMuses, posted his contribution to Fandango’s One Word Challenge: Maximum. So, I thought I’d add to that.

The photo above is one I took in Manzanita, Oregon a few days ago. Shot with my Samsung S22.
as the sun descends
day drifting to memory
the birds still singing
as the water beads
flowing across the petals
rains drift westward
hints of jasmine
linger in my memory
intense yet hazy
This haiku is my contribution to today’s “haiku challenge” on Twitter.
I’ve been contributing to this for years. It’s one of my favorite parts of Twitter. As the Musk saga devolves, it’s what keeps me coming back. There a delightful community surrounding the challenge.
The image was crafted with Adobe Express using the Lara font.
these ghosts of my dreams wandering amidst echoes lost in the sunlight
This is my first exploration into Adobe’s Express beta. I think they’ve done a great job with the UI. It’s a smooth and straightforward, to me at least. Express doesn’t go to deep into the Adobe way of doing things, which works fine for your devotees, but is not terribly intuitive for the uninitiated. Anyway, it might well replace my dependence on Canva.
under the sunlight
crows relaxing with their friends
such tranquil moments
descending sunlight embraces golden hour facing the sunset
