If you want to keep something close to you,

you put it in your pocket.

Some pockets are deep; some pockets are shallow.

These poems are of the same scope and landscape.

Each one holds a small treasure.

 

 

 

  

Library, one



Sometimes you need a new view,
a different angle of common things,
a window with clean glass overlooking
oridnary trees and grasses criss-crossed
with your footprints. Sometimes you need
to read old stories from new eyes.

Store windows twinkle,

sugar-plumed dreams, jingled
and prancing, a shiny red nose!

Dressing for the Holidays

November 14, 2009

dressing for the holidays.

pumpkins grin from
stem to stem.

Every day has a poem. I watch, I listen, I think, I pray. When I hear a poem, I write it down. Sometimes I find a picture that illustrates the day. I am always surprised. I hope you will be, too.

A writer of many genres, Sally Clark loves living in a small town with her husband where their grown children and five grandchildren all live within walking distance. Crowded with relationships, busy with activities, Sally takes refuge on the balcony of their old Victorian house - the perfect place to pen her thoughts.
