reveries of Christmas when I was young
red, green, blue—a medley of gold
undecided which tree lights I loved best

reveries of Christmas when I was young
red, green, blue—a medley of gold
undecided which tree lights I loved best
the short night —
owl wingtips slapping snow
tiny branches quiver




I don’t usually post my quilting projects. Well, at first, I guess I did but, in any case, I just haven’t done it much lately. Anyway, I did want to share this one which I started nearly a year ago. I’ve worked on it, off and on, throughout the year and finally finished it this afternoon.
Its design is called the Carpenter Star, and it measures 82×82. I’m very pleased with how it turned out. This one was a beast to work on and I’m so glad it’s done!! Now to focus on poetry again for a little while before I start another quilt project anytime soon. At least that’s the plan!!
light pouring down from above
impossible to reckon from how far
this lovely December warmth
December’s midpoint
children ache for Christmas morn
still a really long time to wait!
paralysis of fallen leaves
an icy surround
neighbor’s Christmas lights
flicker and strobe
cold morning hands
steaming Christmas mug of chai
its warmth begins to fade
clean & gleaming brightly
December snow
falling lightly, lightly
the shine of the day
its warm, crisp light
bursts through
our southern window
the roundabout way
puppy lets me know
how much I’m loved
