Today’s Morning Haiku

with my morning tea
the gentlest of breezes
sunlight through the clouds

I love calm mornings. Today, Seattle’s weather seems to be pivoting from rain to partially cloudy. Blue skies punctuated with white clouds. Summer’s heat abated, whether temporarily or for the rest of the year is uncertain, but I’ll take the respite.

Autumn Approaches

Today's haiku
orange and red leaves
as i gaze out my window
glories of autumn

The maple just outside my office window already shows autumn colors. Of course, September approaches quickly. Less than a week (Sunday) brings the new month. As tempting as it might be to make some reference to the passing of time, it doesn’t feel very creative.

Today’s haiku

this gentle rainfall 
droplets sparkle in the light
while spring approaches

I created this haiku with TikTok’s built in tools. Then I posted it to Instagram  amongst other places. These are lots of fun to create.

Anyway, I hope you had a good “extended Monday” (yesterday was the President’s Day holiday in the US).

Today’s Haiku Challenge: Jasmine

hints of jasmine 
linger in my memory
intense yet hazy

This haiku is my contribution to today’s “haiku challenge” on Twitter.

I’ve been contributing to this for years. It’s one of my favorite parts of Twitter. As the Musk saga devolves, it’s what keeps me coming back. There a delightful community surrounding the challenge.
