Spring will return
here and there
and then I’ll say,
“When did this happen?”
Today, though,
I rest in longer light
on evergreens
in a tiny bit of wind

Christmas carnations
in the vase
that used to hold
fresh flowers for Mom
blessings
each in turn
return
to bless us

Two Notes
Quiet Christmas Poetry: 2020 Update is a new post at Quiet Christmas Poetry. I share the book anew each year. The posts that became the book can also be read.
Creative Note: Mead Public Library Blog is a new post at Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin. “Good to learn about books that staff at libraries recommend.” We are grateful for our libraries.

cold country night
two deer in the front yard
graze in starlight
My haiku is from December 17, 2010, and is one of the poems in Quiet Christmas Poetry (2014).
And a photo for this post:
names and addresses
names and addresses
for dear friends
no longer on earth
old address book
not yet written
in the overflowing book
cards and envelopes
with last known
addresses
still wanting to remember
what may no longer
be current – places I was
people I knew
