leaves of bleeding hearts
now gold
so do broken hearts mend
so does grief heal
Autumn grace
My poem was published by Bell’s Letters Poet, SMILE, and WestWard Quarterly.
Autumn Grace
how many mornings
how many mornings
have I read and looked
at birch trees in sun
and blue sky?
and yet today
is the most beautiful
Blessed are they that mourn:
for they shall be comforted.
Matthew 5: 4 (KJV)
turning the vase
turning the vase
of flowers
learning
there are
more roses
Published by Bell’s Letters Poet, some time ago.
the faith of birds
the faith of birds
trusting in seed
under snow
My haiku was published first in SMILE, a large print journal that was edited/published by Joyce M. Johnson.

My primary blog is Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin.
I enjoy being creative in many ways, and also view a wide variety of posts at other sites. I write poetry, including haiku and tanka. My major themes are art, beauty, creativity, encouragement, faith, gratitude, grief, health, and hope. Many life chapters, and always hope.
