What are the pros and cons of procrastination?
Bloganuary Prompt for January 27, 2023
sometimes
many years
needed to write
a poem
in a few minutes
December 2014 and November 2021
Saturday morning
Saturday morning
day begins early
and in a quiet way
from prayers to plans
for kitchen work today
And I remember this poem:
peaceful morning
a prayer from childhood
still with me

light grows in the yard
light grows in the yard
from my view at my desk
on the second floor
blue jay visits
the birch tree
September on the horizon
September
on the horizon
all the goals
I can still
try to reach
This is an older poem, and my thoughts today reflect changes and years.
Good to have goals, and good to be flexible and able to revise. For example, I have made good progress on a draft for a new book. One post at a time, work grows. Then the new work is to make selections. Let things rest, and return with a renewed perspective. And I still like Quiet Christmas Poetry (2014, Elin Grace Publishing; second printing 2017). So perhaps the new book in 2022. Every person’s journey is unique. Take good care.

sun shines on old books

Encouragement
how quickly
another generation
grows
seems I only
looked away
for a moment
how good their work
how beautiful their art
These two poems are from my archives.
only now beginning
to find my place and poems
late-blooming rose
from the bush
planted long before
we came here
And what beautiful colors this time of year.
