Seattle Summer

Posted on July 26, 2011 by Andrew

Rain Clouds Drizzle Sun breaks through Heating up the day Clear blue skies, warm temperatures Summer was nice this year, glad it was on a weekend Clouds gather in late afternoon Muting the sunset Gray morning Showers Clouds Rain

Northwest Spring

Posted on June 19, 2010 by Andrew

Almost Summer Warm winter, cold spring Summer sunshine held at bay Anticipation Coy Spring The sun’s warmth on the skin is fleeting, A touch, there then gone, withdrawn before it can be grasped, Warm wind is but a whisper past … Continue reading →

UDPS Flash Haiku Summer

Posted on June 3, 2010 by Tim Keeton

The Unseen

Nameless, faceless, all-knowing;
I’m in their power.

Voices from the past,
Echo through my waking mind;
Driving me insane.

If they would but cease,
My thoughts could become clearer,
Allowing me peace.

Unseen Flash Haiku Challenge for Thursday, 3rd June 2010

Posted on June 3, 2010 by Tim Keeton

This wasn’t my original thought for today’s challenge, but Geoff Munsterman mentioned doing another single-themed “flash” haiku challenge, with the exception that this time no one would see anyone else’s until they were all posted, and I’m an accommodating type of guy, so…

Here are your parameters:

Title your post, “UDPS Flash Haiku Summer.”
Save your haiku post as a draft – do not publish it.
Tonight, at 10:00PM ET (US East Coast Time, e.g. New York time, for those of you in the antipodes), I will publish all the drafts for this challenge in the order they were saved as drafts.

Your theme: THE UNSEEN

This could get interesting. Your challenge begins…NOW!

Rhyme on! Continue reading →
