Misty Morning

I forget that I twitter and even though I lost my twitter virginity awhile ago,
I’ve never officially posted a tweet, it’s always been about blogging.
So here goes…
After a couple of days of uncharacteristic summery warm and sunny weather,
I find it a comfort to wake up to a cool, gray and misty morning.  It feels all
soft [...]

heavy your skies labored today
rain
hail
rain
hail again
and snow
sights and sounds that left me
breathless at my window
deep sunset now and I am
swept in crimson and coral
raindrops hang like glass ornaments
look closely and I am happily lost
deep in your world.

Isn’t he handsome? And it’s official, Bob is as white as snow. Yes, the Seattle

sun.  I asked myself: how can I have sun when there is no sun?  I began
to go away to find some sun.  I would make sure I got a hotel with a
pool so I could sit out by the sun.  Then [...]

Music of the Night

I went to see Phantom of the Opera at the Paramount in Seattle today.  I think this is my 6th time seeing it since it first came out.  I have not seen it for several years now, my last time was in NYC.  I sort of thought at the time: if I ever saw it [...]

Haiku Sequoia

I went to a Haiku poetry workshop today and tried my hand
at a couple of haiku poems.  Classic haiku is a very simple,
yet restrained format of 17 syllables total and often broken
into 3 lines.  The first line containing 5 syllables, followed
by 7, ending with 5 again.
This little poem below is to honor Kubota Japanese Gardens
in [...]

Well friends it’s that time of year.  I live outside of Seattle.  I used to joke and say that we perpetuated a rumor that it rains here all the time, just to keep people from moving here :)  As if.  It’s that time of year when I bring out a little piece I wrote to [...]
