new time to learn

October 12, 2025 Ellen Grace Olinger

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

seasons in the gardens

October 7, 2025 Ellen Grace Olinger

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

clouds and sky

September 15, 2025 Ellen Grace Olinger

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

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

gardens, months,
seasons, years
