Daily Haiku – Page 2 – Carl Setzer: Word Shaper

Tonight’s Haiku, January 28, 2026

walking through these streets
under flickering streetlights
watching shadows play

as the daylight fades
the mountains burst with color
and birds seek their rest

with the night falling
the air drifts below freezing
the day drifts westward

I am relaunching this site and reclaiming the poetry focus. You read about that over here.

With this, I plan to restart my haiku-a-day series. Head over to my homepage and subscribe!

clawing through the clouds
sunlight mingles with the rain
a winter’s day born

Ah, another winter’s morning starts here in Seattle!

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

the wind in the trees

gracefully flowing forward

with its blessed song

mists through the cedars

the echoes of ancestors

remain vigilant

with night descending
flowers proceed to slumber
a racoon prowling
