Monday grey sky
and raindrops
on the windows
how green the trees
and gardens

Monday grey sky
and raindrops
on the windows
how green the trees
and gardens
spring colors
poetry journals and books
on a brown tablecloth
their own beauty
birch trees and
blue sky
kitchen window
forsythia in bloom
and a daffodil in light
new leaves
on the birch tree
May study window
May afternoon
and I read in my study
light on the file cabinet
with cards and letters
before and since email
old poems as well
treasures to rediscover
and remember
perhaps this summer
POEMS FROM OOSTBURG, WISCONSIN
small flowers
close to the ground
many ways to grow
Evening,
and morning,
and at noon,
will I pray,
and cry aloud:
and he shall hear my voice.
Psalm 55: 17
for as long
as I can remember
verses from the Psalms
Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin
snow on the branch
where birds visit
in Spring
