dry goldenrod
the remains of growth
through the snow
Susan Bonk Plumridge
warm boots
walking miles into
wild land
redwing blackbird
spring calls by the
river
hot tea
a pause for a
wandering mind
bullet journal
refining the collection
of life
65 today
after years of being
a junior senior
shrinking snow
too warm for winter
layers
snail mail
a haiku postcard
for greeting
walking west
the sun drops into
orange
a whistle erupts
the common merganser
startles up river
whirlwind
together stirring up
hope
promise
watching God arrange
the details
car ride
still rocking the baby
to sleep
dry goldenrod
the remains of growth
through the snow
printed pages
folded into a
picture book
racoon prints
on the trod path
deep snow
