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


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

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

poem or photo
perhaps a painting
flowers in the wind


morning
kitchen, prayer
and poetry
the light
is different now
