Carol enjoyed the blogs and sharing her work with many readers. This is a post we created at Haiku Art Site for October 28, 2015.
Before the service –
an oriole carries my thoughts to God
and back
The first hymn –
we sing our way
into harmony
Prayer before soup
we unclasp our hands
to break bread
Driving away
whether or not to go home
by the usual road

I sit and quietly read

November afternoon
I have an appointment
with the light
in my study
dishes washed
and put away
time with poetry
in my study
some water
for the Christmas cactus
new buds grow
morning light
forms part of a cross
on the wood wall
my faith completes
the picture
pink clouds
span the horizon
seagulls take flight
stretching to read
new books
tiny leaves
on trees
no prayer
in my heart
too small for God
no longer
a stranger
the joy of being able
to share long stories
of this area
by grace we try
to keep a promise
finish a project
monarch butterflies

My poems are from a Page at Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin. The page is Morning light – Tanka. (My pages there – my first site – are filed under MENU.)
It is Autumn here in Wisconsin, USA. I like creating posts around themes, as well as following our Midwest seasons.
