Looking West Reframe: Rhyming Haiku of Gratitude
Each day we breathe in/a new sunset is one more/
we’re glad just to get.
Backstory: My friend Erin Harold, who is struggling (but winning) against the Covid-19 Coronavirus, posted a sunset photo from her Seattle home, with one word: “Grateful”.
This haiku honors her gratitude. (This sunset photo is out my plane window flying over Vashon Island into Seattle, November 2019)

The Setting Of The Super Moon: Two Haiku
When you’re out of the/
daily grind, you can take time/
to watch the moon set.
AND
Super moon rises/
are grand. Did you miss them? There’s/
still super moon sets.
If you miss the rising of the super moon
in the late afternoon,
don’t forget:
When the grass is early morning dew wet,
there’s a super moon set.
