Haiku

On the Ganges’ Banks

In my mind’s eye
On the Ganges banks
Sunlight rises from the east
Comparative silence
As the city returns to life

A wee spot of melancholy in today’s daily haiku

A Rainy Day In Seattle: Today’s Haiku

Carl SetzerLeave a comment

Another grey day

Rainfall has moistened the ground

Watching memories

It’s feels very much like September this morning. The ground is damp from overnight rain. I great the crows debating their aviary issues of the day. 

Having spent most of my life in our around Seattle, this is a common vision. One that connects me to so many memories, good and bad. Today I’m remembering living in downtown Seattle. That was home for nearly 10 years after I got out of the Navy. Basically, most of my twenties. 

A fascinating time of my life. Trying to understand my place in the world. Discerning my dreams and goals. Mostly discerning myself, and my soul as unique and individual. Before that I either lived at home, in a dorm, on a ship, or in a barracks. I’d never truly lived alone. 

Ownership is Empowerment

Ownership gives strength

The problems of someone else
Will never get solved

A haiku which considers the importance of owning our problems, and empowering ourselves to find solutions.
