another spring day
cherry blossoms scattering
fading memories
Wrote this one early this morning. Created this image in Canva.
Anyway, thanks for reading.

Early morning haiku
sleep’s evasive
the early morning darkness
hiding raindrops
Yeah, I should be asleep,
I’d prefer to be asleep
Yet that is not
My reality.
Tonight’s Haiku
the sunlight fading
while the grace of spring flowers
bursts upon the trees
Starting the day
awakened by self-doubt
criticizing all I've done
so I face within
resisting these words
embracing all that I am
keep moving forward
Today’s Haiku
This is a photo I took a few weeks ago on my Google Pixel, and the post below (Instagram) inspired me to write something today:

It’s funny to me how I feel compelled to justify my work, my writing, photography, poetry. Really, I’m supposed to monetize EVERYTHING! If it’s not generating income, or promoting my business, then I shouldn’t do it. However, I know, in my heart, that I need to create stuff.
I feel compelled to post daily, but I’m hamstrung by the needs above, as well as the larger issues of imposter syndrome and all that.
So, I took the photo above and added the haiku in Canva. I do enjoy that, but I think I need to explore other tools besides Canva. Heck, maybe I need to start doing these in Photoshop again. Get those skills back up.
An evening haiku
streetlight’s reflection
ripples across the puddles
windchime’s gently tones
Tonight’s Haiku: February 22, 2025
within the darkness
listening to the rainfall
the night's progression
Tonight’s Haiku: February 11, 2025
in the bitter cold
the night moving with such grace
soon dawn approaches
Daily haiku: February 9, 2025
a few hints of snow
guarded by the bitter cold
graced by the starlight
Haiku: February 8, 2025
sunlight's gentle way
moving slowly over snow
clouds cover the sky
Another day with snow. This snow, though, has settled in. Nothing new during the day.
I created this in Canva, which is a lot of fun.
