evergreen trees
decorated with
gold leaves that
have come to rest
on their branches
later there will
be snow and perhaps
a few Christmas lights
for now though
what could be
more lovely?

ivy house plant
and birch tree
share the same
afternoon sun

Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin
my heart sees
what is no longer here
buildings and changes
over time
my heart sees
people I knew
and gardens that grew
in different places
I write from my heart
and my heart sees
in new ways again
Post from September 3, 2025
there are poems
in the clouds and
sunrise
and light seen
on the garage
from the kitchen
and one yellow leaf
on the birch tree
there are always poems

morning
kitchen, prayer
and poetry
the light
is different now
evergreens
this year’s growth
in morning light
Congratulations on writing 100 posts on Wisconsin Poetry Blog!
seasons
and years
calendar by
my computer
yet also when
birds return and
leave again
and birds who stay
the plants and flowers
that picture the time
leaves and colors
the light
and when
the days are short
holiday lights
then the light
in January
and all is new

Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin
late August light
shines in the room
in a quiet way
small green leaves
in a little wind
reading poems
I have read before

early Sunday
silence and sun
gardens grow
