For my review, I thought “another summer” would follow the previous two poems I posted well: paintings of trees and spruce tree branches.
I also want to mention my Poet Profile at The Haiku Foundation Haiku Registry. I served as a volunteer in Education.
Thank you

reading haiku
the generous new growth
of evergreens
loved for years
and now I know your name
blue chicory
wearing
my old sweater
worn thin
Queen Anne’s Lace
along country roads

if I could read
if I could read
every book
in my small library
I would then
begin again
new poem
The Psalms
on a Monday morning
and always in my heart
summer study window view
trees and blue sky stillness
New poem today at POEMS FROM PSALMS AND NATURE
small home library
small home library
books and journals
to read at different times
some to reread
and some to give away
Last summer, I enjoyed creating a collection of books for Goodwill in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Books that may bless someone else.
There are books I will always keep, and sometimes I may order a copy for a library or friend. Small press journals may be new for many people, and may inspire someone to write.
Now I look at my small home library, and books I learned about from reviews and blogs are waiting to be read, or read again. Used books as well. Some covers are faded, some are new, all beautiful. Memories, gratitude, hope, and new inspiration. One or two books at a time now.
I hope to create another donation this year.
We also like to donate copies of Quiet Christmas Poetry which is both a site and large print chapbook.
