Spring’s Decadence 

Carl Setzer

Here’s spring’s decadence 

Glorious colors, riches; 

Wealth beyond measure 

A monsoon-like rain squall

Carl Setzer

​In the morning dark

<

p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>Rattling gutters 

<

p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>

<

p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>I awoke this morning to an intense downpour. More like the Philippines or Florida than Seattle. 

Evening Lightening 

Carl Setzer

Flickering briefly 

Lightning burns across the sky 

Jagged movements blur 
Updated: spell check got me, changing “lightning” to “lightening”  

Busyness

Carl Setzer

​Mindless reaction 

<

p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>Chasing after to-dos

<

p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>Lost within motion 

Zen Mediation

As the mind quiets

The sound of nothing roaring

Emptiness fills me
