Winter begins

December 22, 2021 ~ Ellen Grace Olinger

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

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

February light

February light
on the trees
easy to imagine
their new growth
in Spring

Short Poems

December 22, 2020 ~ Ellen Grace Olinger

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

Quiet Christmas Poetry

Birds

Poems From Psalms And Nature

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.
