Ellen Grace Olinger
Time of Singing poetry journal, edited by Lora Zill, has a new site. This print journal was one of the first to publish my poems, and I am grateful. Today I am reading the Winter 2020/21 issue (Volume 47, Number 3).
Here is an early poem.
birds perch
in sheltering branches
a grain of mustard seed
Matthew 13: 31–32 inspired my poem.
Published by Time of Singing (1995).

snow in the fields
and resting on branches
winter in Wisconsin
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
