rain clouds to the west
quietly pass overhead
hiding the sunlight
Rain Clouds to the West
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.
Morning Rain
in the morning rain
gently upon the petals
amidst the birdsong
Rainy Night Haiku
rainfall in the dark
autumnal scents descending
windchime's gentle tone
Sunset Haiku
summer sunsets
gently across the mountains
gracefully cooling air
Today’s Haiku, August 15. 2023
silence eroding
the filling of coffee cups
crows seek their breakfast
An Evening Haiku
I created this haiku with Adobe Express in order to explore some of the text formatting features.
Today’s Haiku Challenge: Waves
sunset through the waves sunlight sparkles upon the surf fading into night
On Twitter, er, X, the user @Bleu_Owl posts a daily prompt “Haiku Challenge”. Today’s prompt is “wave”. The above is my contribution. I hope you enjoy it!
An Animated Haiku
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.
FWOC: Maximum
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.
Grace of Sunlight
the grace of sunlight
dancing in the ocean breeze
the sun arcs downwards
