Sunday morning poem
Sunday morning
silence for a time
I set aside for now
new books and journals
and reread what I already
may know
Creative Note: Posts
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.

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.

HARVEST
They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
He that goeth forth and weepeth,
bearing precious seed,
shall doubtless come again with rejoicing,
bringing his sheaves with him.
Psalm 126: 5-6 (KJV)
My acrostic poem for HARVEST from August 2010 is a favorite poem.

Poems From Psalms And Nature
There are some new posts at Poems From Psalms And Nature (second blog, July 2010 – the present).
I learn more about blogs and design every week, and enjoy creating new posts.
The posts may be older content renewed – larger print now, different images, small revisions in poems, and old poems that seem to last over time. Thank you.
A few examples:
