haiku – Page 30 – Carl Setzer: Word Shaper

Spring gradually fades

as the blossoms fall
gently caressed by the rain
spring gradually fades

just before sunrise 
the voice of a single bird 
before my tea's brewed

blue sky memories 
blossoms caressed by sunlight 
your voice in my dreams

gentle spots of white 
upon the yellow petals
moving in the breeze

sun upon petals
once the gentle rains have stopped
the joys of this life

moments of sunlight 
bees spreading their joyful wings 
spring's life renewing

sitting with my tea 
where I am quite dry and warm 
amidst the rainfall

the morning rains fade 
clouds dancing upon the breeze
and, slowly, sunlight

raindrops on rooftops
a song across my morning
for morning tea

moving towards summer
sunlight through the bluest sky
moving through the trees
