sunlight on display shining through autumnal leaves crows announce my steps

jays shriek their protests an uncaring hawk nearby this hazy morning

I have learned to trust the impartiality of songbirds in flight

In today's haiku I'm listening to rain upon my roof, remembering this sound I've heard so many times. Rain speaks to the Seattleite in me, to the many, many times of gentle rain. For me, it's calming and tranquil.

Hear the night's language Moving between streetlights Far away laughter

Summer's new splendor Sunlight's now starting to wane An un-mowed hillside

Darkness has now come Watching snow flurries shadows Dancing under lights

Dawn's aggressive touch Forcing me up from my sleep Unwelcome, awake 

I like my Androids Though there are some temptations iPhones attract me Amazing accessories And there are many more apps

I get so busy Doing so very much Not what's important

This month breathes it's last My world of rapid changes Soon, cherry blossoms

Triangle's anger Such pointed commentary Well, that's my angle

Life moves at this blur  Days blend together quickly  Cherish these moments 

Sunlight is absent My alarm speaks to wake me Night still is winning

Tonight's haiku is in honor of Black History.

This morning's meditation: This place has my heart Seattle's Grey skies call me It's always been home

Just ten minutes more  As the clock keeps beckoning  The demands of life 

So many years here Dramatic changes flowed past Much lost with the gains If you enjoyed this haiku, please take a look at the others I've written , or more of my writings about Seattle . And please subscribe to get my posts via email.
