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

late November
sun fills a glass
for a time

used books settle

summer to fall
willow branches
in sun and shadow

older vision
grateful for my chair
by a sunny window

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

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.
