Blessed are the peacemakers:
for they shall be called the children of God.
Matthew 5: 9 (KJV)

Two Poems
today the sun shines
today the sun shines
after much rain
and I think about
art on the walls
and arrangements
how shapes and colors
work together
and also spaces
with nothing more
like a new journal
or blog post
a page of paper
what may yet
be created?

Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin
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.
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.”
