predawn and watching
the sky grow light
gift of another day
to read and write

Two Books In Print
We have two books in print. They can both be ordered at the Time Of Singing books page. You will note that the price is 5 dollars per copy, and 3 for 12 dollars. You can combine this special offer with both books. All proceeds benefit TOS.
Welcoming Hope: Poems for those in need is a poetry anthology, edited with Lora Homan Zill and Charles A. Waugaman. Charles created the beautiful cover art, and illustrated the book. There is a description of the book and a list of the poets at the Time Of Singing books page.
Quiet Christmas Poetry is my large print chapbook, created from my site of the same name.
Thank you!

All of the poems and more information are available at Quiet Christmas Poetry.

Time Of Singing: A Journal Of Christian Poetry
I am enjoying the new Summer 2017 Time Of Singing. Lora Homan Zill is Editor, and H. Edgar Hix served as the Contributing Editor for this issue.
Nancy Esther James and I served as Contest Judges. The Contest for this issue was Haiku, Tanka, and Senryu. There are also Editor’s Choices. I enjoyed reading the many good poems that were offered. You can read more about TOS Contests here.
You may also be interested to read Lora Zill’s Editor’s Arias.
