Seattle – Carl Setzer: Word Shaper

Rainy morning haiku

rainy, misty morn
dawn's light muted by the clouds
time to brew some tea

within the cold air
and sunlight gracing  my skin
oh, the memories!

autumnal progress
food provided for the birds
with the air cooling

underneath the trees
listening to the birdsong
as the sun descends

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

raindrops on rooftops
a song across my morning
for morning tea

morning rain 
delighting flowers
rich memories

Seattle, famous for its rain. For some, the accompanying gloom saddens. For me, though, I feel tranquility. These rain soaked firs are home.

this burst of blossoms
underneath these moving clouds
a break in the rain

sunlight 
through clouds and leaves
the song of spring

a day of sunlight
new life gracefully drooping
hints of spring's return
