cherry blossoms fall
as spring's skies begin to warm
free of all our fears

Tonight’s Haiku

another spring day
cherry blossoms scattering
fading memories
Wrote this one early this morning. Created this image in Canva.
Anyway, thanks for reading.
Tonight’s Haiku
the sunlight fading
while the grace of spring flowers
bursts upon the trees
Today’s Haiku

This is a photo I took a few weeks ago on my Google Pixel, and the post below (Instagram) inspired me to write something today:

It’s funny to me how I feel compelled to justify my work, my writing, photography, poetry. Really, I’m supposed to monetize EVERYTHING! If it’s not generating income, or promoting my business, then I shouldn’t do it. However, I know, in my heart, that I need to create stuff.
I feel compelled to post daily, but I’m hamstrung by the needs above, as well as the larger issues of imposter syndrome and all that.
So, I took the photo above and added the haiku in Canva. I do enjoy that, but I think I need to explore other tools besides Canva. Heck, maybe I need to start doing these in Photoshop again. Get those skills back up.

this late winter morn
a sign of impending spring
waking to birdsong
This morning’s haiku

within the sunlight
sustained by the gentle earth
a late springtime breeze
An Early Morning Haiku
Spring berries, a haiku

glorious red drops
resting against the blue sky
sunlight after rain
Today’s Haiku, April 2. 2024

a burst of sunlight
feeding the new spring flowers
a break in the rain

sunset’s grace on the mountains
the air turns colder
I took this photo on my walk this evening along Edmonds’ Marina Beach. Is one of my favorite places, period. Some of the best sunsets I’ve ever seen are looking out at the Olympic Mountains of Washington.
Oh, and happy Pi Day, for those who celebrate.
