An Autumn Sunday Morning

November 15, 2020 Carl SetzerLeave a comment

autumnal daylight
crisp, cool air awakens me
I reach for my tea

I woke to a lovely autumn morning. The rain holding off until a convenient time opens up possibilities. Yet, I expect to spend most of the day in front of a computer.

The Incident In My Tea Mug

A fly in my cup

Bereft of life and motion

Tea in a new cup

Enjoying this quiet Saturday morning, a haiku

May 26, 2018 Carl SetzerLeave a comment

As I sit, awake

Enjoying this calm morning

We all needed rest

I’ve been awake for a bit, exploring Twitter, reading a bit. Now tea summons me. I must heed the call.

Early Morning 

September 10, 2017 Carl SetzerLeave a comment

Awake 

Against my will
My uncontrollable mind
Second guessing my life
Every choice open to
Ridicule

Through my open window
A lone bird’s chatter
This strange, calm click
Answers my insanity
With a call 

For tea

In the afternoon

A warm cup of tea helps me

Make it through the gloom

Sunday Morning Tea

Throbbing skull 

Easing now 

As tea

Drifts through 

My veins
