reading one page
at a time
of this book and that
evergreens
in gentle wind

Christmas night sky

Christmas night sky
becomes sunrise
tree branches
covered with ice
glisten in the sun

third year since
Jesus called Mom home
Christmas bouquet
of baby’s breath
and evergreens

Time Of Singing
Winter 2006/2007

lighting the
Christmas candle
tiny flame
transforms
the night

Poetry · Tanka

Northern sun
shines on frozen beach
still the days grow shorter
shadow of poinsettia
on the wall

Christmas · Poetry · Tanka

Christmas CDs
playing with the volume low
in the fields
the beauty of harvested
corn in snow

This is a new site, a quiet place for some of my Christmas poems.

I began with WordPress in December, 2009. My first blog is Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin.
