I received two new print journals in the mail:
Time Of Singing, A Journal Of Christian Poetry
WestWard Quarterly, The Magazine of Family Reading
Yesterday, I took this photo. As you can see, our Easter Lily is in bloom, and our Christmas Poinsettia is still lovely.

clouds and yet
enough light
to fill a jam jar
with the last

POEM
a small card
in a devotional book
from a thrift store
words of encouragement
from one person to another
I keep the card with the book
and its history today
and tomorrow

October 2018 begins with rain and wind. A good day for blogs and books.
So many ways to enjoy poetry: reading, writing, and reviewing what we have written so far. These are poems from the archives on this site.

rearranging
art on the walls,
cards, and small gifts
from friends
I see them anew

good conversations
one bird
sings the day

This poem of mine was published in the Winter 2016 issue:
