Daily Haiku – Page 69 – Carl Setzer: Word Shaper

This Evening

Nightfall has arrived
The end of this perfect day
Sunlight shifting to rain

As I remember
Those lights stolen by our wars
Praying that we’ve learned

In Flanders fields
Amidst poppies and lark song
Lie our lost lessons

The past holds much wisdom
Ignoring it has grave risks
Ignorance delights

I sit, listening
My negativity fades
Bird song in sunlight

Weariness wins now
Slumber seduces me
I wake upon my couch

I love these markets
Flowers have a special place
Portable beauty

Those who pursue war

Will doubtlessly find its wares

Collected anguish

Evening has arrived
Sunlight forcing itself down
Trees in their glory

light trickles through blinds

dawn’s handiwork is complete

charm of backlit trees
