Crater Lake National Park in Oregon

The world is full of words. Lately, I'm leaning to less. Inspired by haiku, tanka, and Lisa Janice Cohen, I wrote these postcard poems.

Driving Along the Umpqua

wind swirls memory as

river light shines to

disolve pain so

gnawing

sadness

can

sink

Crater Lake at 7,000 feet

deepest

bluest

distant

water without sound

Heading Back

miles to go

heavy-hearted

your hand in mine

all the way home
