needed rain falls
on the gardens . . .
quiet and I hear
the sound of a train

Creative Reading Note: Tracy Balzer
I am rereading A Listening Life, by Tracy Balzer (2011, Pinyon Publishing). Sometimes I may read through a book, and then later read paragraphs aloud, and stay with a page or two for a time.
Tracy Balzer “carry some quiet around” is the author’s site.
Creative Reading Note: Gary Hotham
I am reading Park Bench Memories: Haiku Tailwinds, by Gary Hotham. As stated in the book, he has been writing haiku since 1966. The haiku in this book were previously published in the last ten years, in many publications. Gary Hotham states, “Making moments wear words.” Wonderful book.

Spring Poetry Journals
Spring poetry journals
arrive in the mail
gifted editors,
poets, and
publishers
I would like
to read them all
yet the week
has been busy
with art at home
I admire the journals
and set them aside
for the morning
and will give them
a season of my time

new green leaves
on trees that knew
the colors
of dramatic autumns
in silence sometimes
and in small ways
new dreams grow

Welcoming Hope: Poems for those in need
Welcoming Hope: Poems for those in need is a book that we published with Time of Singing poetry journal. I reread the book recently, and the poems are strong and timeless.
Lora Homan Zill and I served as the Editors. Charles A. Waugaman was the Art Editor and Illustrator.
The book includes poems by many poets. With the universal themes of faith and hope, the book continues to be a beautiful work of art.
The book can be ordered from The Blue Collar Artist Time of Singing. All proceeds benefit Time of Singing. You can also learn more about Time of Singing “quarterly Christian poetry journal from Wind & Water Press.”
