reading poems
by Ted Kooser
and I look again
at the trees
and some years

the new growth
in today’s sun
and they are beautiful

Christmas Blessings 2022 is a new post at Quiet Christmas Poetry, to let those who may be interested know that our book is still available. I wrote:

There is a Time of Singing Order Form filed under “subscriptions/back issues/books” at the Time of Singing site.
November Wisconsin countryside
Bare trees elegant against the sky
Colors in the landscape muted now
October’s glory is gone
And love grows eternally
