This Sunday Afternoon

January 21, 2018 Carl Setzer

The sky bright
Through many clouds
Moving quickly
Above the trees
Sunlight caressed
By the wind

A first thought this early morn 

January 21, 2018 Carl Setzer

​A gentle breeze blows 

Branches scrape against my house 

This brusque goose-like cry

Startles me abruptly

Poetry’s Power 

January 14, 2018 Carl Setzer4 Comments

Once I was told
Poetry’s power
Comes from framing
Life so uniquely
That people see
Truths they’re hiding from

Experimenting with using the graphic to separate my prose from the poem.  What do you think?

A Haiku As I Listen To Satie 

January 12, 2018May 19, 2021 Carl Setzer

Listening to Satie
These binary colored keys
Dancing summer light

I always envision Impressionistic artists as I listen to Satie. Just seems so perfect. Like Bach in cathedrals.

A Rainy Evening Haiku

January 9, 2018 Carl Setzer

Moonlight hides from me 

Behind the rain laden clouds 

Spots on my glasses

The dream fades

December 27, 2017 Carl Setzer

Lightness
Upon the
Summer breeze
Now an echo
Of a forgotten
Dream
