Tag: 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.

October 18, 2016 Carl SetzerLeave a comment

​This night now winning 

Dreams rise up, compelling me

Carry me forwards

​The wind is singing 

Fiercely calling in the dark 

Beast untameable

Blue, grey blend into darkness 

Change’s doom comes forth

​Strain to see within 

The poet pointing the way 

To finding ourselves

​A song most modern 

Playing upon copper pathways 

Dancing within the glass

Red, orange upon wind 

Gentle rains falling

​And so a debate
