The Quiet Christmas Poetry site is a free version of our large print chapbook. We donated copies to libraries and other places. Karl’s classic Lake Michigan photo is the Cover Art.
holiness
and humility
Christmas
cold country night
two deer in the front yard
graze in starlight
Christmas night sky
becomes sunrise
tree branches
covered with ice
glisten in the sun
new year
on the horizon
simple lines
of barns and trees
in the fog
Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin 
Thanks Ellen. You remind me that I need to get out and walk some of that stark beauty. Enjoy the holidays.
