Quiet Christmas Poetry – blog and book

all still new
seasons where we have lived
for years





Wisconsin Poetry Blog began last October (2024). Thank you.

family tablecloths
passed on to me
they look like
the art I select
for my blogs


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


seasons in the gardens
older now and perhaps
not as many flowers
but rather the perennials
that grow bloom
always return

clouds and sky
spruce tree branches still
reading poems
that offer hope
and rest

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
