raindrops
on hosta plants
so beautiful
with and without
flowers
their leaves
in the sun
quiet grey morning
all the books
I hope to read
quiet grey morning
a page or two
and the restful view
rain and wind
flower petals
on the wood porch
local corn
and soybean fields
turning gold
wildflowers
in the yard
and along the roads
September

reading poetry
my coffee gets cold

Time Of Singing, A Journal Of Christian Poetry
Volume 43 “Intermezzo”
Fall 2016
Some day I hope to create a book with my poems for the language arts.
There is a nice selection of Flower Images at Reusable Art.
CHRISTIAN PUBLISHING 101: The comprehensive guide to writing well and publishing successfully – for new authors, editors, and students. ANN BYLE, Foreword by Jocelyn Green. Credo House Publishers, Grand Rapids Michigan. Copyright 2018 by Ann Byle.
I learned about CHRISTIAN PUBLISHING 101 from the Time Of Singing site. Editor Lora Homan Zill’s chapter in the book is “The Heart of a Poet: Writing to Challenge Readers.”
Just beginning to read this book.
On a related note, Time Of Singing, A Journal Of Christian Poetry is now publishing Volume 46. I have subscribed for years. TOS is currently published four times a year by Wind & Water Press (Conneaut Lake, PA).
I also bought the new edition of WALKING ON WATER: Reflections on Faith and Art, by Madeleine L’Engle. Preface by Sara Zarr and Reader’s Guide by Lindsay Lackey. Convergent Books, New York. Madeleine’s book was first published in 1980 by Harold Shaw Publishers. An important book for me, over the years.
