Three New Books by Carol Purington is a beautiful new post by her family at Woodslawn Farm. She asked her family to complete this work for her. I ordered the books and look forward to reading them.
Please visit Woodslawn Farm for more information.

another year
another year
has passed since
my mother’s passing
I sit and quietly read
a book she would like too
Short Poems
reading old letters
reflections of Christmas lights
on the water
holiness
and humility
Christmas
Christmas night sky
becomes sunrise
tree branches
covered with ice
glisten in the sun
new year
on the horizon
simple lines
of barns and trees
in the fog
Tanka: Five Poems
morning light
forms part of a cross
on the wood wall
my faith completes
the picture
pink clouds
span the horizon
seagulls take flight
stretching to read
new books
tiny leaves
on trees
no prayer
in my heart
too small for God
no longer
a stranger
the joy of being able
to share long stories
of this area
by grace we try
to keep a promise
finish a project

back in Wisconsin
My poems are from a Page at Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin. The page is Morning light – Tanka. (My pages there – my first site – are filed under MENU.)
It is Autumn here in Wisconsin, USA. I like creating posts around themes, as well as following our Midwest seasons.
