books and music
from over the years
live on these shelves

even if I don’t
reread or listen again

somehow their
healing influence
is in these words

by Ellen Grace Olinger

The Haiku Way To Healing: Illness, Injury and Pain (Including Senryu, Tanka and Haiga). Edited by Robert Epstein, 2022. Middle Island Press, West Union, WV.

I reprinted my three poems from this anthology on February 2, 2023.

A poem about our home library goes well with my haiku yesterday about books from our Oostburg Public Library

It is interesting to see which posts seem to be read and reread.

My Bloganuary posts are an example. If you missed a post, and are interested, you can see my Archive for Month: January 2023.

Acrostic Poem For READING from April 16, 2010 continues to be the “most popular post.”

I postponed plans for a new book last year. Perhaps a simple book for my acrostic poems, with Karl’s photos, is the next step.

You are welcome to visit my site, My Acrostic Poems.

Thank you,

This week I went to our Oostburg Public Library “Modern resources, personalized services.”

I have shared my acrostic before, from July 18, 2012. I wrote, Thanks to all who work in libraries and do so much to serve our communities.
