new time to learn
though many years here
grateful to grow older

Three Poems

September 13, 2025 Ellen Grace Olinger

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

my heart sees

September 3, 2025 Ellen Grace Olinger

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

seasons, years

refreshed by rain
