found an old journal

· 4 Comments ·

I bought the 10th Anniversary Edition of One Thousand Gifts, by Ann Voskamp. The new introduction for this edition was written by Ann Voskamp in late October 2020. The Page for the book at Ann’s site has a picture of the cover and more information.

And a few of my haiku blessings:

found an old journal
more blessings noted
than I knew

reading journals
new generation of poets
since I began

garden journal
through the seasons
every photo a prayer

“garden journal” was the Daily Haiku: Nov. 4, 2019 at Charlotte Digregorio’s Writer’s Blog.

Snow falls this winter March day, and the trees are beautiful through the seasons.

I am grateful that some of my poems have been reprinted. Sometimes it is good to reflect upon past work and simply be grateful.

Years ago, I helped begin The Education Resources at The Haiku Foundation. This poem was reprinted in their volunteer anthology.

I hope to highlight a few poems and their stories over the next few posts.

March Poems

new library books
and wandering home
on all the roads
fields, spring air, sky
first red-winged blackbird

March 2012

they begin
to turn yellow
in this day’s sun
and will bloom soon
daffodils from the store

March 2015

near the garage
on a cold March day
bird songs

March 2019

March days
time to observe
and watch for
all the beginnings
of Spring

March 2021
