morning’s grace
bearing so much potential
dawn reaches my eyes
I’m in the process of shifting to my self-hosted site, CarlSetzer.com. I’d love for you to join me there.
Category: Daily Haiku
I adore the simplicity, as well as the challenge of Haiku. The constraints focus my mind, seeking out the essence of the moment, feeling, notion, distilling it to brilliant singularity.
My goal: to post at least one haiku a day.
Monday Morning
as the sun rises
dawn’s light graces the hemlocks
Monday’s potential
Mountain Sunset
night moving westward
the sky brightening briefly
this cool autumn air
I’m slowly moving away from this page, shifting over to my self-hosted site, CarlSetzer.com. Please come on over and follow me there.
Early Morning Fog
Early morning fog
Autumn diffusing the dawn
Delightful silence
Walking at Sunset
Walking at sunset
Light dances upon the trees
Squealing children play
Late Night Haiku
I sit in the dark
Calmness refueling my soul
The song of starlight
I woke in the middle of the night and wrote this. Seemed rather perfect when I read it this morning. Still, I’d rather sleep through the night right now.
Comfort from the Dark
As I move through dusk
The cool darkness comforts me
From the past’s echos
September Moves In
September moves in
sunlit days becoming rare
the scent of autumn
Morning Sunlight
Morning sunlight
Under the cool autumn breeze
I resist waking
A lovely autumn morning in Seattle. Blue skies, mostly white clouds, though there are a few darker ones. The demands of my day finally rouse me. My tea welcomes me back to life.
Today’s Word of the Day Challenge: Wave, a Haiku
the ocean’s motion
waves moving across the earth
continuously
Here is my contribution to the Word of the Day Challenge. Today’s word is “wave”. Having spent so much of my life near the ocean, this is the first place my mind went. I did think a bit about writing about physics, but, well, I decided oceans were more lovely.
