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.


a busy day
followed by
a quiet day
snow on the roof
and seawall

late November
sun fills a glass
for a time
My poem was published by Time Of Singing Poetry Journal, Fall 2013

grow and rest
return again

in their new home

small steps
one day at a time
sparrows in the yard
