New poem yesterday at POEMS FROM OOSTBURG, WISCONSIN
Winter Solstice 2021
Winter begins
today is the shortest
day of light
Oostburg, Wisconsin
Midwest, USA
Northern Hemisphere
And tomorrow
I will begin to watch
the days grow longer
Write new poems
about the light
This post begins a new series, as I review my photos of our Great Lake in Wisconsin USA, over the seasons and years.

Wisconsin, Midwest, USA
early hours
of quiet and poetry
gardens overflow
and if some winter
my mind forgets
my heart will know

February light
on the trees
easy to imagine
their new growth
in Spring
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
Often when I look for a photo for a post, I view many interesting and beautiful photos. My selections are informal. Perhaps I would like to illustrate a poem, add another color, and/or a photo expresses hope and resilience. I look for the photo that seems right for a specific post.
