sometimes

sometimes
many years
are needed
to write a poem
in a few minutes

Sunflowers

photos of sunflowers
the field on the way home
from my mother’s home
years and years ago
gave me strength

I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.

Psalm 18: 1

My poem is from a new sequence at Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin:

early poems
and new gifts
of trying to write
in a new way

setting aside often
for all the right reasons
and then renewal
over time

not a clue
that blogs were
in my future

and would offer
the world to me

From my longer poem in the previous post, I wrote a haiku.

Spring poetry
journals in the mail
new season of art
