Autumnal Leaves
glorious red leaves
autumn breezes gently brush
this life giving rain
Autumn has arrived
Autumn has fully arrived in Seattle. Rain and mist dominate the day. For me, this is calming. This is beautiful.
early autumn rain
birds delight in fresh berries
slowly I sip tea
nature's graceful force always pushing us forwards through autumnal rains

Summer’s Walk
this vibrant blue sky
delightful Summertime warmth
autumn approaching

Today’s Haiku: Bursts of Color
footsteps on the path bursts of color reach my eye underneath the leaves
Saw these on my walk yesterday. They were striking, standing out solidly in the mass of green.
I finished up Summer quarter on my journey to finish my ATA in Web Development. I will write some about that soon. Six quarters complete and three quarters left. Now, what to do afterwards? So much opportunity, so many choices, thus, so many things to say “no” to. That’s my pain.
Grace of Summer
The grace of summer Greeting me upon my walk Sunlight through the clouds
A haiku response to today’s Word of the Day Challenge
Today’s word is “overdue”. Not a very poetic word, is it?
a day with light rain giving overdue relief birds gracing my day
