flowers – Page 3 – Carl Setzer: Word Shaper

Tonight’s Haiku

crocuses arise 
finding their way upwards 
after the show melts

the grace of summer 
continuing to hold on
autumn approaches

I found this flower along the Edmonds Waterfront on my walk yesterday afternoon. It’s one of my favorite places to be.

I hope this finds each of you well. May you be refreshed and energized this weekend.

in the morning rain
gently upon the petals 
amidst the birdsong

the grace of sunlight
dancing in the ocean breeze
the sun arcs downwards

slowly opening
sunlight hidden by the clouds
such gentle motion

between the rain squalls 
sunlight mellowed by the clouds 
petals unfurling

barefoot through the grass
with the dew cooling my toes 
breeze through the blossoms

after the rainfall
droplets gather on petals
sunlight through the clouds

crows calling 
through the morning mists 
petals gently fall

morning calmness 
the rain gently falling
life's graceful moments

Summer heat has been running strong this week. Today was a respite. 20 degrees cooler than yesterday with a gentle rain. A nice bit of relief.

I took this photo just outside of my office this morning. It seemed perfect. I enjoyed the moment, at least.

I hope your day went well. I know life’s pretty miserable for this of you on the East Coast. May the smoke clear quickly for you all.
