Running Haiku

Belmont Harbor 
in December



Running before dawn this morning I noticed the placid lake with boats no more.  They have migrated to higher ground making way for the ice to come.

 The harbor is clear

Boats and masts have disappeared

Soon ice will be here

Running Haiku

Lincoln Park
 in November




It has been a while since I was out for a Sunday morning run, and even longer since my run inspired a new Haiku.  I hope you enjoy this impression from my November run in Lincoln Park.

Autumn

Color everywhere 

Abounds, covering the ground

Now hushing my sound

November

Cold comes as wind blows
Soon there will be winter snows
Lake shining with ice

Confidence

Boat launches in harbor

Sun beams on the horizon

While runner is buoyed

Morning Muse

No wind for my Muse

Grayish clouds block the Sun peeking

Through with rainbow hues

Sunday in the Park

Purple Spheres inspire

Like Shadows floating above

Morning is Serene

Morning Path

A bicycler's legs

flash excitement in the sun

My path remains calm

Dawn

Running with the dawn

He receives the sun's first light

The moon still beams down

Poetry for Spring

Spring

Blossoms cover the ground

From lilacs in the morning

Spring slowly fades away
