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
garden after rain
leaves on wood path
and red begonia

afternoon sun
fills the lamp
on a file cabinet
my study
where I have
read and prayed
through many years
I may read
from a book read
during a difficult time
and now years
have gone by
and I read again
with gratitude
and hope for today
and tomorrow
small books
from small presses
by my chair
their cover art
design and poems
afternoon rain
and reading haiku
quiet reflections
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
turning the vase
of flowers
learning
there are
more roses
