Playing Catch-up
Long time neighbors, out to get the mail,
Stand under shade of Chinese Tallow-tree
Haven’t seen you for a while, how are the kids?

Word Pictures~Music and Flashes
Flashes
Small, shiny pinwheels
Catching and tossing sunshine.
Music
Poignant violin brings melancholy peace.
I know where you are, my love.
Word Pictures~2
Gone
Pink-tinged, white azaleas filled the giant bush
Then wilted and fell, one by one.
Don’t worry, lavender plumbago in the wings.
Spring Herbs
Beginning to peek over the tops of their boxes.
Tiny yellow flowers of tarragon.
Will we eat them?
Threatened
Blue and gray scrub jays with tough-guy voices
Discuss survival around the rim of the bird bath.
Outside Eden
We have exciting news to share!
Mary Harwell Sayler’s new book of Bible poems
Has just been released by Kelsay Press!
Mary says “Of all my projects, this book means the most to me as it combines my two favorite subjects – the Bible and poetry.”
Mary Sayler’s new book of poems, Outside Eden, is filled with fervent, rounded visions of our exile and our return from exile. Old Testament people become new again, familiar and yet transformed into transcendent projections of a mysterious eternity. I think the book could be epitomized by these lines from the poem Elevation: “I am / dust. I am / uplifted. My breath / takes in the wonder and the wind.”
—Pavel Chichikov, A House Rejoicing and other books of poetry and nonfiction
