study window
above my desk
snow on the screen
and from the roof
snow on trees
and then grey sky
New poem yesterday at Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin – reprinted here in large print.

beautiful with
and without flowers

shoveling . . .
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
how still
the winter landscape
I whisper the Psalms
snowflakes fall
snowflakes fall
one-by-one
I read another haiku
icicles grow
icicles grow
by my study window
winter settles
in the garden
for a time
Beauty and Wonder
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
