Time of Singing poetry journal

January 17, 2021 ~ 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).

The corn is tall, and soybean fields are beginning to turn gold. Some leaves on trees are showing autumn colors. I am grateful for the seasons.

The light is beautiful.

I am reading a lot these days.

Grateful.
