Summer’s Sunlight 

Carl Setzer

Summer’s flowers bloom
This season of bursting life
The sun’s energy

My Mission Statement

Carl Setzer

 


My mission in life

Make cool dreams reality

Defeat resistance

 

I had fun crafting this. Seems appropriate to have a haiku as a mission statement. 

Lighter Than Air

Tonight’s Magenta Clouds 

Carl Setzer

Evrning colors speak 

Calling forth the rising moon

Dusk’s magenta clouds 

I love summer nights

I love summer nights
So tempted to stay awake
Later than prudent

A Cold Overnight 

Carl Setzer

Each cough 

Self conscious

Creating disturbance 

Where peace 

Should reign 

And then think 

Of the germs 

Launched forth 

Looking for a 

New host. 

Light Moves Across The Firs

Sunlight’s fading fast
Moving across the grand firs
Gray clouds up above 

Light Moves Across The Firs

Sunlight’s fading fast
Moving across the grand firs
Gray clouds up above

The last day of school brings some melancholy thoughts. Lots of lasts today, followed by a bunch of firsts. For my house, middle school ends. The little boy who once lived in my house is taller than me. Joyous stuff, really, yet tinged with sadness v

Changes, so many, a constant string; such is life, I guess.
