This photo called to me for a haiku, and I was delighted to oblige.
the sun slips below
warm blazing orange blankets
when will the stars dance?

A Photo Inspired Haiku
joyful floral scents
moments of urban beauty soon,
war’s horrors rise
I wrote this haiku after seeing the post below. Such a lovely photo coming a breath before the horror of World War I.
Haiku, January 28, 2019
the soul of a tree
life with bark skin forgotten
ghostly echoing
A Fairhaven Haiku, December 10, 2019
embraced by the night
walking, the air freeing me
birds high overhead
A photo and a poem from the Edmonds Waterfront
A walk through the dark
Moving over the boardwalk
The quiet’s beauty
I enjoyed editing this one. The texture is wonderful, at least to me.
May 6th, 2019 Haiku
The tulip’s fire
Graceful beauty bursting forth
Spring time’s sun warmer
Walking along the shore
Walking in the night
Enjoying this graceful scene
Of the moon’s ascent
One of my favorite places is the waterfront in Edmonds, about 30 miles north of Seattle. I adore walking along the shore. Even tonight in the cold, though there were moments of striking clarity.
Exploring Downtown Seattle
My home was once there
The outward shape is still there
And yet, it’s transformed
Walking these old streets
Visions of dirty concrete
Echoes of our past
Grime and poverty
Once marked these streets with their truth
Now airbrushed away
Walking with dear friends
Explorations of this past
Amongst my future
This evening’s walk
Went walking today
Along my favorite shoreline
As the sun moved low
One of my favorite things is to walk along the waterfront in Edmonds, WA. Tonight I include a few photos I took along the way.
A Photo Mediation
As one stares upwards
Admiring ornate art
Expressions in stone
Another image found on Bing (it’s from this website. Really interesting work).
I’ve long admire such stonework. The craftsmanship is exquisite, but I’m even more impressed by the mind the conceived it.
