My Response to Today’s Word of the Day Challenge: Fresh

May 5, 2021 Carl SetzerLeave a comment

suburban wanders
as fresh cut grass’ scent dances
memories awake


Today’s Word of the Day Challenge features “fresh”. As it’s spring here in the suburbs of Seattle, and I’m listening to a mower’s drone, this flowed from my keyboard.

Strange sounds of the night

Is that a cat? A raccoon?

Now, again, silence

Walking In Suburbia

October 6, 2019 Carl SetzerLeave a comment

Angled Daylight
The angled daylight, Dances amongst the trees, A gentle breeze blows

A haiku reflection on this evening’s walk. Very delightful journey through this suburb I call home.

A street shines just outside my window. The quiet of this suburb, both home and alien.

Birds break the silence
No cares for propriety
