sunrise
in early May
tiny bird sings
on the branch
of budding lilacs
reading
new used-books
this year’s leaves
begin to grow
on the birch tree

Winter days
Yesterday, we went to Schwarz Fish Company in Sheboygan, Wisconsin – the Wholesale Location this time. Then a drive to see the decorations and lights in the area. Karl observed that already the days are a little longer. Beautiful to watch the natural light change. All beautiful, whether someone created a grand display of lights, or a simple wreath.
Winter drive
holiday lights in Sheboygan
and small towns
a busy day
followed by
a quiet day
snow on the roof
and seawall

morning work
in the kitchen
reading a new-used book
blue sky and some clouds
birch trees in May
wind and evergreens
daffodils and primroses
in the yard
sounds of work

Time of Singing poetry journal
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).
