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

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.
now that I know
their name
I see them everywhere
hydrangeas

today’s sun
shines on old books
new again

reading poems
each season
birds in the yard
study window
cardinal on a branch
with new leaves
Poems From Psalms And Nature – June 11, 2025



small roads
and seasons
spring trees

reading a book
I bought used
some time ago
words that bless
today
