I am beginning work on a second large print chapbook, in the same style as Quiet Christmas Poetry. My first step is to reread my archives, so I can remember my best short poems. Then I will gradually know the sequence for the book. The theme is Wisconsin seasons and encouragement.

always beauty
after the leaves fall
and the days grow short
holiday lights begin
small town main streets
and country roads
November skies and fields
have a stark and simple
beauty
when winter settles in
for a long time
after Christmas
the light in January
is already changed
from now
