In December 2018, I published a post for Quiet Christmas Poetry, which is both a site and a large print chapbook.

I took this photo on July 2, 2018. Previous owners planted our peonies years ago. The peonies are just beginning to grow again this year.
In August 2018, I posted a small collection of my haiku:
Haiku For The Seasons.
My post could become a small printed chapbook some day, with a few photos and credits. Perhaps a book to send someone with a card.
I wonder
what today’s poem may be
lilacs in the wind
I have mentioned Charlotte Digregorio’s Writer’s Blog. Charlotte publishes poems by many poets, along with other content.
Please see Charlotte’s recent post from April 27, 2019 at her blog: Exhibit Travels Again: Haiku & Senryu.

We have art on the walls from Bethesda Thrift Store in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. I imagine the paintings have many stories.
It always amazes me to watch the days grow longer again, even during our long winters. We have lived here long enough, that the light and gardens tell me the time and seasons, in a general way. The garden is always beautiful – the flowers, and also the entire cycle.
I took this photo in the yard yesterday – daylilies and tree shadow in the morning light.

I have reached January 2018, with my review. WordPress inspired me, with their “Post Milestone” in January of this year. So soon I will complete my review and 1,000 Posts series. Thank you. I have learned a lot through this review. I see how I could revise some old poems, as I also remember the moment and emotions at the time. And I see some growth! Next post will continue with my January 2018 archive. I began this site in April 2012, and the encouragement of many people is reflected and supported here.
I often reprint poems in new ways. For example, I may see over time that poems form a small collection, and one of my photos may also go well with the post.
This was my note from WordPress, in my notifications. I would have missed this achievement otherwise. They are good teachers and editors!
“Congratulations on writing 1000 posts on Haiku Art Site!”
