November sunroom
orange lilies from a store
in the blue vase

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


rain
brown green gold
gardens
first and last
to bloom
in our gardens
snowdrops and
goldenrod
pumpkins
at the stores
summer days
go by and fall
is near
Ellen Grace Olinger
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

August afternoon
time I know well
gardens, months,
seasons, years

growing older
goldenrod and roses
refreshed by rain
Poem from 2010.
reading a book
I bought used
some time ago
words that bless
today

November sunroom
orange lilies from a store
in the blue vase
