reading a book
I bought used
some time ago
words that bless
today
rest and read
on a rainy day
say the books
by my chair
there was a time
when the book
did not exist
perhaps in the
writer’s heart
and mind
yet still the process
to create for others
to read in some form
there was a time
when the reader
did not know
the book exists
yet once found
is read and reread
treasured forever
among many books

Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin
morning work
in the kitchen
reading a new-used book
blue sky and some clouds
birch trees in May
wind and evergreens
daffodils and primroses
in the yard
sounds of work
in the neighborhood
type a list
gratitude
At Poems From Psalms And Nature, I began a new series on the theme of Mercy and Gratitude, which will feature my poems inspired by thrift stores, with links to the store sites. And creative notes in general.
Today’s post is Poetry Book by Madeleine L’Engle, which also lists the posts so far in the series.
We live in Wisconsin – the Midwest, USA. And I buy used books from other places online, as well as places in our area. So many good deeds, and books are shared with more people. Wonderful.
