WordPrompt: Bridge 3
This post follows my post March WordPrompt: Bridge, from March 9, 2022; and my post yesterday. When I think about poetry – and always a work in progress – after church, the Psalms, and music, there are books. Art builds so many bridges. We see that every day with blogs.
Last week, I received a nice email from Amazon to encourage me to write some reviews again. I am writing some reviews that are really thank you notes for books that helped me and that I reread. Yesterday, I wrote a short review for Friends for the Journey by Madeleine L’Engle and Luci Shaw. This review is for the paperback edition 2003 published by Regent College Publishing in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Good to see classic books kept in print and reach new generations of readers. I also wrote about books for the bloganuary 2022 challenge.
Luci Shaw The Official Website has information about her new book, Angels Everywhere. You can view the page for the book at Paraclete Press. I look forward to the book.
Today I looked at the Madeleine L’Engle Blog – Written by Charlotte Jones Voiklis.
As I proofread this post, Karl sees the first robin of the year. He said, “Right on time!”

Friday afternoon
Friday afternoon
in February
looking from a page
in a book to the window
snow falls

poetry journals: two poems
poetry journals
to read that have
waited on my shelves
the season now
and also Spring
poetry journals
to read and perhaps
all seasons . . .
one journal at a time
and always Spring


trees by the window
trees by the window
and then shapes
of a few leaves
times I read pages
and times to stay
with a few poems
Sunday September
morning – one butterfly
by the window


early Saturday
early Saturday
with clouds
lamp light
a little brighter
to read now
late August light
late August light
shines in the room
in a quiet way
small green leaves
in a little wind
reading poems
I have read before
