early morning silence
books and poetry journals
time to pray
read and write
look at art

early morning silence
books and poetry journals
time to pray
read and write
look at art

sharing stories
lilies of the valley
grow from one garden
to another

music and rest
sun fills the daffodils
by the window


poetry in the mail today
and posted on blogs
we can rest and create
when we can
read and renew
Poem from February 18, 2025 – Journal Notes Blog.


reading journals
new generation of poets
since I began
new plants grow
in our garden
tulip leaves
sunrise . . .
some water
for the chrysanthemum
“sunrise” was published by hedgerow #133, autumn 2020; and was the Daily Haiku: February 16, 2021 at Charlotte Digregorio’s Writer’s Blog.

Sunday morning
my small prayers
add to many prayers

And he shall be like a tree
planted by the rivers of water,
that bringeth forth his fruit in his season;
his leaf also shall not wither;
and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Psalm 1: 3 (KJV)
