early morning

early morning
light on an old painting
in a new place

by Ellen Grace Olinger

My poem was published by hedgerow: a journal of small poems #136, 2021, edited by Caroline Skanne. Reprinted at Charlotte Digregorio’s Writer’s Blog.

books to read
and reread
spring sunrise

reading poems
and writing too
the seasons
always new

November afternoon
I have an appointment
with the light
in my study

dishes washed
and put away
time with poetry
in my study

What time I am afraid,
I will trust in thee.

Psalm 56: 3

early sun fills
a bouquet of flowers

with leaves and fruit
