Year’s Cold Edge 

Carl Setzer

​

I feel fear’s cold edge 

Darkness descending early 

Wearing my wool clothes 

Autumn’s presence now permeates the air. Leaves fall with vigor.  

Autumn’s Evolution

Carl Setzer

In morning darkness 

Leaves transforming, preparing 

For winter to come 

A starry, winter’s night

Carl Setzer

I see stars at night
Brutally cold air descends
Sunlight in the morn

A snow calmed Christmas morn

I’m awake early
On this dark Christmas morning
The night calmed by snow

I hope each of you has a blessed and refreshing Christmas.

The Solstice Approaches

Days passing past me 

Daylight wanes for a few weeks 

Then the axis tilts

Within the Morning Rain

Carl Setzer

I lay within the morning quiet
My mind drifts to memories
As rain’s drumbeat calms.
A strange, irrythmic sound
Unexpected gaps of silence
Cool air chills my fingers

A Winter’s Day 

Carl Setzer

Snow falling last night
Cold air clamored over us
Ice descends earthwards

This Winter’s Night

Cold Winter’s Night
