family tablecloths
passed on to me
they look like
the art I select
for my blogs

family tablecloths
passed on to me
they look like
the art I select
for my blogs


predawn
and watching
the sky grow light
gift of another day
to read and write

poem or photo
perhaps a painting
flowers in the wind


morning
kitchen, prayer
and poetry
the light
is different now

P onder
O ver
E verything I see today
M emorize and write one moment
POEM

summer garden
some plants rest
some grow



growing older
goldenrod and roses
refreshed by rain
Poem from 2010.

S easons of memories
O ver time and new memories
N ow can be created and
G row
SONG


now that I know
their name
I see them everywhere
hydrangeas
