What’s your favorite thing to cook?

One of my favorite meals is rice with kale or spinach. Healthy foods in general, with gratitude.

Our winters are long and yet the light . . .

Our winters are long and yet the light in January is different. Always so beautiful.

In late December 2022, I created the two posts some light begins and also Haiku: Light and Seasons.

Here are two more poems today.

clouds and yet
enough light
to fill a jam jar
with the last
of the carnations

early morning
light on an old painting
in a new place

“early morning” was published by hedgerow: a journal of small poems  #136, 2021, edited by Caroline Skanne. Reprinted at Charlotte Digregorio’s Writer’s Blog.

some light begins
with clouds in the sky
winter morning

holiday lilies
in sunroom light

cup from a thrift store
on my grandmother’s
straw chest
near the window
fills with light
