What could you do differently?
Daily Prompt
small steps
one day at a time
sparrows in the yard
beauty of trees
shaped by the wind
and seasons
work at my desk
blue jay visits
a tree in the yard

Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin
late January
new snow on a tree
by the window
ancient lilacs
cover the graves
Memorial Day
My poem was previously published in SMILE; and Humoresque (for the United Amateur Press Association of America, edited/published by Jean Calkins).
Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin
A few petunias
snapdragons, gold and white mums
the robins are gone.
Holding in my heart
as days become cold and dark
robins will return.

seasons repeat
we tell the stories
