Poems by Ellen Grace Olinger
water
for the begonia
and hosta petals
on the lawn
small vase of daylilies
for the sunroom
goldenrod grows tall
above the windowsill
bees, butterflies, and
hummingbirds visit
by the windows
by fields of corn
growing in July sun
daylilies
fog, green leaves
and beach grasses
a blue vase
with red carnations
by the window
July 2014
hosta and daylilies
in the garden
blue chicory and
Queen Anne’s lace
along country roads
July in Wisconsin
cup from a thrift store
on my grandmother’s
straw chest
near the window
fills with light
early morning – Poems From Psalms And Nature
new leaves
on the birch tree
study window in Spring
new leaves – Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin
mid-May
marsh marigolds
along the road
especially beautiful
this year
older years
and today
new perennials
and poems
