Personal Reflections – Carl Setzer: Word Shaper

Haiku: December 29, 2025

the wind’s aggression
flinging branches to the earth
this winter’s darkness

mists through the cedars

the echoes of ancestors

remain vigilant

mighty moose minions

mitigate mouse munitions

mad malevolence

I opted for something alliterative today. And something absurdist. Just wanted to have some fun. I hope it amused you like it did me.

with night descending
flowers proceed to slumber
a racoon prowling

this rain's gentleness 
flowing over the blossoms 
before the sun's grace

memories of dusk
treetops hidden by the night 
silent memories

the rose does not 
compare its beauty 
to the daffodil
