Daily writing prompt
Do you remember your favorite book from childhood?

I read many books – stories and biographies, for example. Poetry from the Psalms and hymns at church.

In my previous post, Poems, I published a sequence of poems that relate to the language arts. For this post, I am working with the theme of seasons.

evergreen stillness
deep roots and stable
Winter soon

blue sky
and snow on evergreens

old songs
that are ever-new
Spring soon

perennial gardens
past Winter and soon
their new Spring

daylilies bloom
every year and again
this year

and the lake in sun
blessings of friendship

days grow shorter
gentle turning
of windmills
