Vintage Birds

Old images new again.

Poems from February 2021:

February garden
light on evergreens
covered with snow
I still know the words
from songs long ago

kitchen window
sun on the snowbank
by the garage

sun on the snowbank
where peonies and daylilies
will grow and bloom

old and new
music in the yard
bird songs

And this morning:

Winter gardens
poems with many meanings
what is past
all that is here today
and hope . . .

There is a Bird Images category at Reusable Art.

almost like a page
in a journal today
grey sky and trees
in the Winter
garden

What does your ideal day look like?

My ideal day looks like this day.

new flowers
from a store
haiku

From my archives:

peaceful morning
a prayer from childhood
still with me

treasures stored
here and there
homemade chapbooks

books on the shelf
supported by each other
kindness of friends

new day
in my older life
sun on evergreens

“peaceful morning” was published in Bundled Wildflowers, Haiku Society of America 2020 Members’ Anthology. Bryan Rickert, Editor.

January sun
bright through tree branches
reaches the other side
of the room, and I lower
the window shade
to see my screen
and write a poem
