Wordless Wednesday

early poems and new gifts

early poems
and new gifts
of trying to write
in a new way

setting aside often
for all the right reasons
and then renewal
over time

not a clue
that blogs were
in my future

and would offer
the world to me

morning prayer
water birds flying north
stay close to water

My haiku was first published in SMILE, 67, 2010.

And published in Take-out Window: Haiku Society of America 2014 Members’ Anthology, edited by Gary Hotham.

more colors of blue
in Lake Michigan today
than I can name
the wonder of always learning
dreaming new dreams

Friday morning
fresh water
for the daisies

Saturday afternoon
yellow flowers
on a table in the sun

Sunday morning
clear sky above
sunrise clouds

Poems from my August 2019 Archive at POEMS FROM OOSTBURG, WISCONSIN (my primary site, since December 2009):

calendar
by my computer
with all kinds of notes
handwritten cards sent
health care appointments
and record of progress
work continues

I look back
and I look forward
blessings of today
