Category: Haiku

I adore the simplicity, as well as the challenge of Haiku. The constraints focus my mind, seeking out the essence of the moment, feeling, notion, distilling it to brilliant singularity.

A Haiku For A Rainy Seattle Morning

Carl Setzer

<

p style=”font-family:"font-size:16px;”>rain taps my window

<

p style=”font-family:"font-size:16px;”>echoing through memories

<

p style=”font-family:"font-size:16px;”>graveyard with damp grass

<

p style=”font-family:"font-size:16px;”>I listen to the gentle patter of the rain, memories full my head. Sitting in my bay window watching the rain. Laying in my childhood bed. Sitting in cafes, drying from walking, coffee welcome warmth. 

<

p style=”font-family:"font-size:16px;”>Does rain’s sound trigger any memories for you?
