This year, I am reading more books by Ted Kooser, a great blessing. I hope to write more posts as I read his poems.

different shapes
of the rose bush
and lilacs in the yard
they grew towards
the light

pink clouds
over Lake Michigan
as I listen to old hymns
my heart gathers peace
for this day
roses in the sun
some ending
some beginning
and some in full bloom
good to grow older
wildflowers grow
by fields of corn
words of poetry
uplift my soul
keep me strong
hosta
blue chicory
Queen Anne’s lace
and daylilies
July in Wisconsin

A few autumns ago, I saw the natural arrangements of leaves on Karl’s trailer. The blue tarp is a beautiful background color for the leaves.
