POEMS FROM OOSTBURG, WISCONSIN, April 2022

gulls lifting
from the sand
corn an inch tall

looking at trees
I remember prayers
of friends

My haiku was published at Poems From Psalms And Nature, May 2012. Reprinted in the book, The Helping Hand Haiku Anthology (Including Senryu, Tanka, and Haiga). Edited by Robert Epstein (2020, Middle Island Press). Karl and I also reprinted the poem in Quiet Christmas Poetry (2014).

trees

the green that goes
the green that stays
evergreens

trees with leaves
and Fall colors
and then their
shapes and sky

trees with holiday
lights in Winter

and trees
with blossoms
and new leaves
in Spring

From Psalm 1:

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
that bringeth forth his fruit in his season;
his leaf also shall not wither;
and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

Psalm 1: 3

Holy Week

Holy week
lily flowers
wait to bloom

sometimes by sight
in my life of faith
apple trees in bloom

Time of Singing (Spring 2014)

Reprinted by Gene Meyers in his column, Celebrating Holy Week with Christian Haiku (2016), at the Haiku Society of America.

“Holy Week” was selected for my Poet Profile page in the Haiku Registry, at The Haiku Foundation.

Poems From Psalms And Nature: 2020 Series Review

At Poems From Psalms And Nature, I am working to review our series from March 2020 – July 2020. These posts are short selections from the 150 Psalms, with art by many people. I also post some of my poems and reflections.

If you are interested, these are my two recent posts, and you can read/view more from there. My goal is to offer a few moments of beauty and hope.
