with light
brown rice
with red peppers,
spinach, mushrooms,
peas, carrots,
and olive oil
cover art
for books and journals
grateful today
for art and colors
in so many ways
And from the Psalms:
Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
Remember, O LORD,
thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses;
for they have been ever of old.
Psalm 25: 1, 6

I will abundantly bless her provision:
I will satisfy her poor with bread.

TO ADMIRE
to admire
on the counter
and bring home
with great care
a work of art
to nourish
body and soul

Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious.
Psalm 66: 1 – 2

which is full of water:
thou preparest them corn,
when thou hast so provided for it.

clouds and yet
enough light
to fill a jam jar
with the last
of the carnations
gulls lifting
from the sand
corn an inch tall
summer sun
thrift store bowl painted
with leaves and fruit
mid-August
blueberries on sale
from Canada now
poems we read
again and again
washing an old plate
the pattern
still new
“gulls lifting” was published in SMILE (2009, 2010); and Bell’s Letters Poet (2010).
