History of a Poem
At POEMS FROM OOSTBURG, WISCONSIN, I am reviewing some posts.
Some of the poems I wrote for my blogs have been published over the years in journals and books.
I thought History of a Poem would be a good way to present my current review and posts – perhaps a small book in the next year or two. Thank you.

An old haiku:
Deep calleth unto deep *
filling my heart with hope
greater than my mind
* The first line of my poem is from Psalm 42: 7 (KJV).
