A Friday Haiku 

Carl Setzer

​We love our Fridays

<

p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>The great allure of freedom

<

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

<

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

Looking at Fear 

Carl Setzer

​There are times of fear 

<

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

<

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

<

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

Calmness in the Darkness 

Carl Setzer

​Lights flicker at night

There’s calmness in the darkness 

Unexpected peace  

Isolation

Carl Setzer

The heart collapses

<

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

<

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

<

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

<

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

An early morning haiku

Carl Setzer

​Not quite awake yet

<

p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>Dark skies of early morning

<

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

<

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

<

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

Happy Thanksgiving!

Carl Setzer

​My life is quite good 

<

p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>So much to be thankful for 

<

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

<

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

<

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

Positivity

Carl Setzer

​Negativity

<

p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>Such a focus of our lives

<

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

<

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

Seeking Peace’s Way

​Seeking Peace’s way 

<

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

<

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