shoveling . . .
scent of mint
through snow
My poem was published by Time of Singing, 25th Anniversary Volume, 1998.
Creative Note:
Time of Singing poetry journal, edited by Lora Zill, has a new site. This print journal was one of the first to publish my short poems, in the 1990s.
how still
the winter landscape
I whisper the Psalms
snowflakes fall
one-by-one
I read another haiku
icicles grow
by my study window
winter settles
in the garden
for a time
Our Midwest months each hold their own beauty and wonder. The new snowfall, with the different sense of light in January, is an inspiration. Poetry journals inspire by their presence, yet the view is poetry too.
birch tree branch
that was a place for birds
now holds
a few inches of snow
on a sunny day
January thaw . . .
letting go
of old heartaches

And the Word
was made flesh,
and dwelt among us . . .
full of grace
and truth.

and humility
