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

poem or photo
perhaps a painting
flowers in the wind


morning
kitchen, prayer
and poetry
the light
is different now

August afternoon
time I know well
gardens, months,
seasons, years

growing older
goldenrod and roses
refreshed by rain
Poem from 2010.
small roads
and seasons
spring trees

November sunroom
orange lilies from a store
in the blue vase
