Another evening haiku

Carl Setzer

​Frustrations arise

<

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

<

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

<

A Rainy Seattle Morning

Carl Setzer

​Hear morning rain

<

p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>I’m glad the gutters are clean

<

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

Challenging Fears 

Carl Setzer

<

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

<

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

<
