the green that goes
the green that stays
evergreens
trees with leaves
and Fall colors
and then their
shapes and sky
trees with holiday
lights in Winter
and trees
with blossoms
and new leaves
in Spring
From Psalm 1:
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
that bringeth forth his fruit in his season;
his leaf also shall not wither;
and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Psalm 1: 3

Poems From Psalms And Nature
But we have this treasure
in earthen vessels,
that the excellency
of the power
may be of God,
and not of us.
2 Corinthians 4: 7 (KJV)
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
At Poems From Psalms And Nature, I began a new series on the theme of Mercy and Gratitude, which will feature my poems inspired by thrift stores, with links to the store sites. And creative notes in general.
Today’s post is Poetry Book by Madeleine L’Engle, which also lists the posts so far in the series.
We live in Wisconsin – the Midwest, USA. And I buy used books from other places online, as well as places in our area. So many good deeds, and books are shared with more people. Wonderful.
