river, image by Kim R. Deslaurier
river's destiny
something greater than itself
we are all called forth
______________
Minnows
Sparklers in the water
silvery sleek jump for flies
leaving water rings
______________
Covid Time
I'm drawn to people
but I've learned an in-house way
a closeness to God

Kim R. Deslaurier taught writing for 20 years,
and while her students were writing, she was
writing with them. Highlights in her life have
been receiving a National Writing Project
Fellowship, hosting poetry events, and promoting
young adult writers through the Young Writers
Project. Inspired by her prayer group, daily
devotions, and the grace of God, Kim writes
haiku every day.
