new time to learn
though many years here
grateful to grow older
blessings for all generations
we all grow together

ordering
a Christmas wreath
for my parents’ graves
even though I know
they are not there

new place
on a shelf for a plant
October sun


predawn
and watching
the sky grow light
gift of another day
to read and write


small steps
one day at a time
sparrows in the yard


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?

evergreen trees poem – Short Holiday Poems


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
