asked here and there
if we go South
for a time

we stay

POEMS FROM OOSTBURG, WISCONSIN

early morning
light on an old painting
in a new place

by Ellen Grace Olinger

My poem was published by hedgerow: a journal of small poems #136, 2021, edited by Caroline Skanne. Reprinted at Charlotte Digregorio’s Writer’s Blog.

clouds and grey sky
yet for a moment
evergreens at sunrise

sunrise
clouds and enough
light for this day

small study
and books to read
days with longer light

daylight
Norway Spruce tree
covered with snow

“small study” was published by Akitsu Quarterly, Spring 2022.

Poems by Ellen Grace Olinger

Evening,
and morning,
and at noon,
will I pray,
and cry aloud:

and he shall hear my voice.

Psalm 55: 17

Sunday morning
music and books
I know by heart
yet always more
to learn
