PSALMS

reading Psalms
more beauty and
comfort every year

morning light
forms part of a cross
on the wood wall
my faith completes
the picture

Deep calleth unto deep *
filling my heart with hope
greater than my mind

* The first line of my poem is from Psalm 42: 7 (KJV).

praying the Psalms
and reading poetry
books and journals
I write new poems
about everyday life

Psalms to pray
and poems to read
sun on seawalls

Wait on the LORD:
be of good courage,
and he shall strengthen thine heart:
wait, I say, on the LORD.

Psalm 27: 14

“Psalms to pray” was published in Dawn Returns The Haiku Society of America 2022 Members’ Anthology. John J. Han, Editor. Haiku Society of America, New York.

Poems

I am reviewing the poems I have published here so far. Here is a sequence that relates to the language arts.

new space
on a few shelves
donated books

reading journals
new generation of poets
since I began

time with old friends
poems in a journal
from years ago

treasures stored
here and there
homemade books

reading a new book
the fragrance
of fresh paper

found an old journal
more blessings noted
than I knew

books on the shelf
supported by each other
kindness of friends
