Poems For Books

I think the previous posts, with many of my short poems, will work together in book form. There may be changes as we work.

Now I am going to review our photo archives, and create more posts. One step at a time, over time.

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

PRAYER

roses in the sun
some ending
some beginning
and some in full bloom
good to grow older

pink clouds
span the horizon
seagulls take flight
stretching to read
new books

predawn
and watching
the sky grow light
gift of another day
to read and write

Thy statutes have been my songs
in the house of my pilgrimage.

Psalm 119: 54 (KJV)

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

fragrance of leaves
in the gardens
what good friends
we became
as we grew older
