early morning silence
and I remember –
this is where and when
my poems arrive

today

I’ve written many poems about the language arts and creativity.  Here are a few favorites from my archives.

reading poetry
my coffee gets cold
guess I made it
for the fragrance

reading poems
not worried about those
I don’t understand
but perhaps will
another time

turning the page
of an older book
the age in my hands

Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation.  Psalm 71: 18 (KJV)

resting my eyes
after reading for a time
raindrop catches the sun
