And new poems:
new books
from the library
spring gardens
more colors
in the gardens
forget me nots
beautiful
with primroses
forget me nots
May morning
sounds of work
in the neighborhood
kitchen window
primrose colors
in the sun
poems to see
and perhaps write
primroses near the door
POEMS FROM OOSTBURG, WISCONSIN
sun on a vase
from my mother’s home
in the room where I write
she often asked,
“Are you writing?”
Luci Shaw is an author who has “had a positive impact” on my life. I enjoy reading and rereading her books. You can view Luci Shaw’s page at Amazon and also visit her Official Website.
Her books have been with me through many life chapters, including grief and health challenges. She is an excellent writer, poetry and prose.
More meaning is added when I reread one of her books that helped me through a difficult time. I grow ever more grateful for my simple daily life.
primroses
and daffodils
bloom near the door

POEMS FROM OOSTBURG, WISCONSIN
I remember when I first began sending my poems to editors for review.
Time Of Singing was one of the first print journals to publish my work. The new Spring 2023 issue begins their Volume 50, which is a wonderful achievement. Lora Homan Zill is editor.
