As Day Becomes Night

as day becomes night

and the hemlocks fade from view

the song of wind chimes

This is an experiment with animations in Adobe Spark. I like how this turned out. What do you think?

Scent of Old Books

Carl Setzer

scent of old books: a haiku
scent of old books: a haiku

scent of old books
espresso machine’s song
hints of jazz piano

I spent many hours of my mid-twenties wandering Seattle’s bookstores and coffee shops. Fond, fond memories. Though a challenging time, mainly financial, I enjoyed that time. Traveling into Seattle became more and more challenging over the years since I returned to Lynnwood. It looks dramatically different, and I haven’t been down since the pandemic started. Puget Sound’s north end holds its charms, too. Just different ones. Evolutions, I guess.

Late Night Haiku

p style=”font-family:"font-size:16px;”>Calmness refueling my soul

p style=”font-family:"font-size:16px;”>The song of starlight

p style=”font-family:"font-size:16px;”>I woke in the middle of the night and wrote this. Seemed rather perfect when I read it this morning. Still, I’d rather sleep through the night right now.
