At POEMS FROM PSALMS AND NATURE, I am working on a new series, that builds upon our series from March 2020 – July 2020. In 2020, the posts were short selections from all 150 Psalms, with pictures. This year I am working with words and themes. One post leads to another. Two recent posts are: my hope and trust (from Psalm 71) and “my hope is in thee” (from Psalm 39). The Psalms may be familiar to some readers and new for others. I let the verses speak for themselves. Universal themes.
“morning prayer” was published in Take-out Window: Haiku Society of America 2014 Members’ Anthology, edited by Gary Hotham. My haiku was first published in SMILE, 67, 2010.
Visiting The Wind: The Haiku Society of America Members’ Anthology 2021, edited by Erin Castaldi, arrived this past week. I look forward to reading and sharing more about the book. The Cover Design is by Tiffany Shaw-Diaz and Erin Castaldi. I always enjoy learning about artists who are new for me from cover art for books and journals.
Earlier this month, I updated my page, Haiku Society Of America Members’ Anthologies. The page features my poems in the books since 2013, along with the names of editors and additional publication credits.
I am learning more about the WordPress Foundation– “Supporting the WordPress community since 2010.” Matt Mullenweg is the founder and director.
Karl helped me begin Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin in December 2009. This way of being creative works well for me. I am grateful, and trust that our work is cared for well here.
