Night’s Growing Longer

Carl Setzer

As darkness creeps down
Cool air brings tranquility
Sun sets earlier

It’s getting darker earlier now. Fall approaches, with it impending change. School reboots, air cools, night’s grow longer.

Welcome to Wednesday

Carl Setzer

Welcome to today
At the middle of the week
Promise keeps growing

Ah, the middle of the week; bearing it’s challenges. May you continue to go forward, grow and expand in knowledge and wisdom. 

Peace to you all, my friends. 

Tonight’s #Alliterative #Hakiu

Carl Setzer

Serious sardines
Samba sanguinely, smoothly;
Solidly sarcastic

I’m just feeling a bit silly tonight. Good enough reason for some alliteration.

This Morning’s #Haiku: Defining Sacrifice 

Carl Setzer

Sometimes sacrifice
Simply feels like the payment
For a greater life
A thought upon waking this morning. I hope your Sunday revitalizes you.

Career Meditation: Accepting what I don’t know 

Carl Setzer

Embracing my fear
Stepping into the unknown
So much I don’t know

I realized this morning how much I’ve struggled with my new job. I’m in a new industry and doing very different work.  And i’s been a long time since I’ve stretched myself like this. It’s been fearful, but good. I need to push myself forward. It’s far too easy to settle into easy, no risk, safe work. I need to push through that fear and keep growing, stay alive and vibrant. 


Arguments On The Internet: A Haiku

Carl Setzer


Online arguments 

Publicly correct their faults

So tempting sometimes 
Irs so easy to get caught up in how wrong some people can be that we lose sight of our deeper values.
