August 5, 2015 Carl Setzer

New romance’s joys,
Intense fluttering heart-rates;
Ah, twitterpation!

Word of the Day Haiku: Boomlet

August 3, 2015 Carl Setzer

Strangely these things come
Unannounced, then fading fast
Another boomlet

Word of the day haiku

August 1, 2015 Carl Setzer2 Comments

Since I get dictionary.com’s Word of the Day, I thought these great writing prompts. So, let’s start the exploration, shall we?

Word of the day: noctambulous

Striding through the night
They wander while dreaming
The noctambulous

Time’s Edges

July 31, 2015 Carl Setzer

I feel time’s edges
As summer blazes forward.
Carried by the wind.

Hansel and Gretel’s Father

July 26, 2015 Carl Setzer

Children’s voices in town
Echoes in the forest
Crying out judgement
Of deep failure, trust
Crushed, sacrifices upon
Lust’s altar. Offerings
Offered to an uncaring
Soul. Reminders of
Horrors he willingly
Inflicted upon his beloved.

Dreamer’s edges

July 23, 2015 Carl Setzer

Mentally flitting
Gracefully above the earth
Within dreamers edge.

Overcoming fear

Overcoming fear
Refusing paralysis
Drinking deep from life

Mastery

To gently master
Beauty of sunlight, breezes. 
Saintly prayers for me.

Absence of tears

July 17, 2015 Carl Setzer

Sad, this arid heart
Free of disappointment’s pain
Free from tears’ moisture

Escape

July 13, 2015 Carl Setzer

Let go of anger
Escape pride and envy’s grasp
Such is peace’s path
