Spring Poetry Journals
Spring poetry journals
arrive in the mail
gifted editors,
poets, and
publishers
I would like
to read them all
yet the week
has been busy
with art at home
I admire the journals
and set them aside
for the morning
and will give them
a season of my time
Poem by Ellen Grace Olinger
new green leaves
new green leaves
on trees that knew
the colors
of dramatic autumns
in silence sometimes
and in small ways
new dreams grow
Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin
Palm Sunday
childhood memories
of singing in the choir
Palm Sunday
tiny leaves
on trees
no prayer
in my heart
too small for God
Easter And Spring Poetry
old and new
memories grow together
Spring flowers and trees
lily of the valley
fragrance of forgiveness
memories of love
losses in life
low setting sun
through branches of trees
now rises again
as birds quietly sing
Sunday rest
prayers and gifts
of Winter with
new hope
for Spring
praying the Psalms
and reading poetry
books and journals
I write new poems
about everyday life
Ellen Grace Olinger
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 (KJV)
February light
February light
on the trees
easy to imagine
their new growth
in Spring
