clouds and sky
spruce tree branches still
reading poems
that offer hope
and rest

POEMS FROM OOSTBURG, WISCONSIN
Monday grey sky
and raindrops
on the windows
how green the trees
and gardens
books to read
and reread
spring sunrise
reading poems
and writing too
the seasons
always new
gifts of beauty
and simplicity
flowers
gifts of beauty
Large Print Poems
this year I see
the beauty
of February
more clearly
peaceful
sky and trees
the gardens
rest and
I read
and the gardens
will grow
POEMS FROM OOSTBURG, WISCONSIN – 2022
clouds and yet
enough light
to fill a jam jar
with the last
of the carnations
late-day sun
on the gravestones
we shall meet again
I came across this poem in my archives. My parents had January birthdays, in 1915 and 1917.
