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

poems we read
again and again
washing an old plate
the pattern still new

winter soon
plans to read
and write poetry

praying the Psalms
and reading poetry
books and journals
I write new poems
about everyday life
Update March 2025
