after rain sun
in the garden
where green plants
still grow and today
begins anew
My new poem, after rain sun, is from Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin yesterday. You may also be interested to read and view Poems: Rain and Seasons from the same site. One example:
rain
on new seawall
built with limestone
from a Wisconsin
quarry
November afternoon
I have an appointment
with the light
in my study
dishes washed
and put away
time with poetry
in my study
cooler weather and strong winds
all the leaves falling and we see the shapes of trees
light streams into the house as the sun moves south
red geraniums still bloom
October turns to face November

November Wisconsin countryside
Bare trees elegant against the sky
Colors in the landscape muted now.
October’s glory is gone
And love grows eternally.

SMILE (Fall/Winter 2008-2009)
This is a favorite old poem, my Thanksgiving poem. The photo is from the yard.
