Such gentle calmness
Graceful moments in the dark
Frogs sing beside this pond

A Haiku: Blanket
On WordPress there’s a “Word of the Day Challenge”. Today’s is to write a poem, story, or anecdote inspired by the word “blanket“.

childhood security
faded memory
What do you think of when you hear the word “blanket”?
Abrupt Awareness
Frog song
Bold moonlight
Sudden awareness
Thinking of those moments where one is working dillgently, fully absorbed, then abruptly aware of time’s passage. The last moment outside our mind sunlight dominated. Then, darkness, moonlight, and the frogs chanting their mantras.
Nightly Haiku, August 11
Air in motion
Night sings ancient songs
Trees sway in the dark
Experimenting with Adobe Spark. Really enjoying the app.
A Haiku In The Night
The night’s grace appears
Kindness in the dark’s motion
Streetlights; a beacon
There’s a grace to the night, to the calmness brought, to hidden delights, joys unbounded. To rest delivered, and the salvation of our dreams.
Morning Coffee, A #Haiku
Coffee’s gracefulness
Awakening our brain cells
Enabling life
The elixir of life: coffee! Memories of Seattle cafes in the 90s, a broke young man seeking moments of grace. Warmth in the winter rain, another grace. Warm memories of friends and conversation, of connecting with history’s great minds. Coffee consumed, generations apart, cold winter’s rain ensuring the seat, by the window, wondrous.
Seattle Memories: A Saturday Morning
Dark morning skies
Coffee shops and newspapers
Tranquil memories
Echoes of my history in this morning’s air, remembering my times in Seattle as a young man.

within the darkness
memories of the daylight
as I seek to rest
This is my first experiment with Adobe Spark. I find Canva a bit more intuitive at first blush. I’ll see where that goes. As I have a Creative Suite subscription, Spark makes significant economic sense.

sunlight climbing down
from the mountains to the west
the bees contented
