The Velvet Cape Of Night 

Carl Setzer

So much is hidden 

By the velvet cape of night 

Not Just what’s frightful 

Laying here seeking sleep. Hoping it’s mercy comes soon. 

Dastardly Viri 

Carl Setzer

I’ve grown quite weary 

Of these viri within me

Minute yet brutal

Day Passes To Night

Carl Setzer

Day passes to night
The demands of the day pass
Finally some rest

A Haiku

The Moon’s Ghost

Looking towards the sky
The moon’s ghost emerging high
In this night I sigh

Now it’s Tuesday, A Haiku

Carl Setzer

So, it’s now Tuesday

Outside the window; darkness

Yet I must arise 

Walking along the shore

Walking in the night
Enjoying this graceful scene
Of the moon’s ascent

One of my favorite places is the waterfront in Edmonds, about 30 miles north of Seattle. I adore walking along the shore. Even tonight in the cold, though there were moments of striking clarity.

A Blessed Day Haiku

Carl Setzer

This day was quite good
Filled with blessings of friendship
Within winter’s chill

I hope you’ve found goodness in your life today.

Laying in bed, reading
