Carl Setzer: Word Shaper

Cherry Blossoms

walking in the sun
the grace of flowers fills me 
with delightful joy

underneath the rain 
signs of spring bursting forwards 
no one else walking

Bubbles!

upon the spring breeze
joyful squeals of childhood
laden with pure grace

springtime's grace 
gentle breeze's motion 
waiting for the rain

no pathos is felt
by the birds upon the wind
or by spring's flowers

The haiku above is my response to today’s Word of the Day Challenge. Today’s word: pathos.

sunlight 
through clouds and leaves
the song of spring

the day free of rain
glories of spring continue 
sunlight through the clouds

moving through rainfall 
sunlight's grace hidden by clouds 
new cherry blossoms

under the raindrops 
falling upon the petals 
spring arrives anew

within gentle mists
the grace of springtime bursts forth 
new cherry blossoms
