Daily Haiku – Carl Setzer: Word Shaper

Rainy Morn

dreaming of moonlight  
rain's gentle rooftop tapping 
quiet before dawn

cold morning air
sunlight growing to the east 
mountains at dawn

joys of coastal life 
the sound of waves in winter 
sparkling sunlight

the morning darkness
dawn still below the mountains 
as I seek stillness

as the grey clouds move
an autumn storm approaches 
brutally cruel air

Created this graphic/haiku as I watch the latest storm approach the Seattle area.

Snowy day

autumnal snowfall 
graceful motion in silence 
stopping soon enough

snow flurries
through the streetlight's gaze
silence

sunlight through the firs 
koi moving in the pond 
tapping of raindrops

under the street light
with the gently falling rain
sipping my coffee

dawn strikes morning snow
winds dance in the frigid air
crows call each other
