I remember prayers
of friends
Published first here at Poems From Psalms And Nature on May 16, 2012.
Karl and I reprinted the poem in Quiet Christmas Poetry (2014).
Then my haiku was reprinted in this book:
The Helping Hand Haiku Anthology (Including Senryu, Tanka, and Haiga). Edited by Robert Epstein (2020, Middle Island Press).
I am grateful to see how a poem can last, be read again, and shared in new ways.

POEMS FROM OOSTBURG, WISCONSIN
O God, thou art my God;
early will I seek thee . . .
From Psalm 63: 1
God be merciful unto us, and bless us;
and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah.
That thy way may be known upon earth,
thy saving health among all nations.
Psalm 67: 1 – 2
The Psalms Series: June 2020 Index is a Page filed under Menu. Thought it would be helpful to review, as we near the end of June 2021.
One example is the post, Psalm 107 and short poems.
O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth forever.
For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
Psalm 107: 1, 9
new leaves
on the birch tree
and on the branch
with no leaves
a robin
on the branch
with no leaves
sun and shadows
Short poems are by Ellen Grace Olinger.
And images for today’s post:
late May garden
more poems than I could
ever write
in loving memory
my parents and brother
we shall meet again
