after rain sun
in the garden
where green plants
still grow and today
begins anew
My new poem, after rain sun, is from Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin yesterday. You may also be interested to read and view Poems: Rain and Seasons from the same site. One example:
rain
on new seawall
built with limestone
from a Wisconsin
quarry
Yesterday we reached 200 Posts at Large Print Poems. The posts so far are from August 2020 – August 2021.
grateful today
for perennials
that grow and bloom
through so many
different years
the wildflowers
we did not plant
yet found a place here
the formal gardens
we see in the area
and their serene beauty
what work there must be
to offer this view
as we drive by on our way
home
POEMS FROM OOSTBURG, WISCONSIN
photos of sunflowers
the field on the way home
from my mother’s home
years and years ago
gave me strength
I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.
Psalm 18: 1
My poem is from a new sequence at Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin:
water
for the begonia
and hosta petals
on the lawn
small vase of daylilies
for the sunroom
goldenrod grows tall
above the windowsill
bees, butterflies, and
hummingbirds visit
by the windows
evening light
morning light
daylilies
But it is good for me to draw near to God:
I have put my trust in the Lord GOD,
that I may declare all thy works.
Psalm 73: 28
