Solitude

Photo by Karl

Solitude is the theme for The Daily Post Photo Challenge this week.  Last week, readers especially liked Karl’s photo with the driftwood.  This photo is from the same series.  They are some of my favorites as well.

This photo by Karl became the cover of our large print chapbook, Quiet Christmas Poetry (the short poems can also be read at the site).  I am working on a new large print book now, and like the idea of sharing with nursing homes and libraries in our area.

Some of my poems from Quiet Christmas Poetry reflect a general theme of winter and seasons:

*

wind freeing the snow
from evergreen branches
waterfalls

*

S  ilence
E  nlivens
A  nd
S  olitude
O  pens
N  ew thoughts

*

reading one page
at a time
of this book and that
evergreens
in gentle wind

*

looking at trees
I remember prayers
of friends

*
