raindrops sing
a melancholy tune
my tea cup cools
Facing Forward, Pursuing Progress
raindrops sing
a melancholy tune
my tea cup cools
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.
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.
dawn’s promise rises
I listen intently
as the crows argue
clear autumnal morn
bare branches in the still air
refreshed by silence
Moving through the leaves
As the rain begins to fall
These autumnal strolls
Though I got drenched, I did get a poem out of it.
Morning arrives
Sunlight ascending
Through autumn mists
autumnal daylight
crisp, cool air awakens me
I reach for my tea
I woke to a lovely autumn morning. The rain holding off until a convenient time opens up possibilities. Yet, I expect to spend most of the day in front of a computer.
The sun descending
Western mountains afire
Reaching for my dreams
It’s been a frenetic week, but productively so.
