raindrops sing
a melancholy tune
my tea cup cools
A winter morning

December 19, 2020: Rainy Day Haiku
this December day
under my feet cold ripples
keep moving forward
Cold, rainy day. Ripples in the puddles. For me, this means home. What about you?
Always in a Rush
always in a rush –
sunlight drifts across the trees
raindrops upon roofs
Wrote this one early this morning as part of Baffled’s Haiku Challenge (on Twitter). I appreciate his daily challenges, forcing me to stretch my mind. Also, these haiku are a great way to keep my Adobe skills sharp. I create most of my posts right now with Adobe Spark.
Today’s desire: capture the feeling of a cold, dark, winter’s morning in Seattle. Today was dreary and damp, hence the focus. I opted for the Playfair font. A unique font, with understated serifs.
Walking at Night: a Haiku
feet upon pavement
headlights move through the darkness
facelessly pass by
Walking last night, stepping over and around puddles, remembering so many other nights. An element of this Seattle life.
Today’s FOWC Haiku: Gibberish
I appreciate writing prompts and their motivation to create. Today’s Fandango One Word Challenge features “gibberish”. Not the easiest to write with. But, well, I came up with the below.
so much gibberish
mindlessness passing for thought
and smoldering rage
Haiku, December 13, 2020
looking up at dusk
the stars starting to appear
the fog of my breath
Haiku: December 9, 2020
amidst the daylight
the sky holding my gaze
the rain speaks loudly
A Rainy Afternoon Walk
walking through the mist
rain-soaked clothes cooling my skin
memories of sun
A Stars Haiku
stars to the left
and to the right forever
still brings me wonder
Haiku: November 30, 2020
dawn’s promise rises
I listen intently
as the crows argue
