older vision
grateful for my chair
by a sunny window

good to create
when we can
sometimes more
sometimes less
every year different


tree with full leaves
providing shade
comfort of faith
Haiku published by Time Of Singing Poetry Journal, Summer 2012.

sometimes when I pray
before a meal, I remember
my grandmother’s prayers
in Swedish, and her voice


book shelves
with cards on display
a handmade gift
and a few old dishes
decades of life so far

garden plans
flowers for bees
and butterflies



praying the Psalms
and reading poetry
books and journals
I write new poems
about everyday life
