to learn all the news
and I simply pray
that they all be well

I received the Fall 2019 Time Of Singing, A Journal Of Christian Poetry (TOS).
“fragrance of leaves” was published in this issue.
fragrance of leaves
in the gardens
what good friends
we became
as we grew older
As noted in the journal by Editor Lora Homan Zill, my poem was previously published in They Gave Us Life: Celebrating Mothers, Fathers & Others in Haiku. Edited by Robert Epstein. Middle Island Press, 2017.

even though I know
they are not there
