Ripples of Air: Poems of Healing by Charlotte Digregorio

I received Charlotte Digregorio’s new print book, Ripples of Air: Poems of Healing, this week. Yesterday, I began reading and am grateful for her art.

Charlotte Digregorio’s Writer’s Blog features many poets, and I am honored to be published there.

Please read Charlotte’s post, Heal Yourself with this Book, for more information.

You can also refer to her post, It’s Published! Ripples of Air: Poems of Healing.

Charlotte Digregorio published this poem for the Daily Haiku: November 8, 2018. It was her good idea to create a senryu from one of my tanka.

I will share both poems in this post, so you can read both versions. The poems go well with the new year soon, and the themes of my blog.

Short Poems for July

recollections
of summers gone by
voices on the breeze

From 2012

*

country cemetery
trumpet vines
growing taller
than the gravestones

Time Of Singing
Summer 2012

*

early hours
of quiet and poetry
gardens overflow
and if some winter
my mind forgets
my heart will know

From 2015

*

loved for years
and now I know your name
blue chicory

“loved for years” was reprinted by Charlotte Digregorio for the Daily Haiku: May 27, 2017.
