waiting for the poems

Written by Ellen Grace Olinger

Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin

I’ve been listening to quiet music and watching birds fly across the sky at sunrise.  Not migration, simply flying.  Some in a small group, some with another, some alone–but within sight of others.

solitude at sunrise
waiting for the poems
that arrive if I give
them this time

let them be themselves

sometimes alone

with a friend

a group

this balance
we all try for

  2. Lovely, Ellen Grace.

    I hope your summer has gone well so far.

    p.s. I am following your blog, but your new posts are not showing up in my Inbox. Is there something else I need to do?

    1. Dear Cynthia, Thank you. With the new WordPress reader – which is very nice – I changed my settings for how much of a post is shared in emails etc. Today though, I changed my setting back to “Full Text” so the whole post should appear in emails again.

      This also gives me a back-up copy in my email files. So many ways to approach blogging – every day is new!

      I enjoyed your memoir and we have a lot in common – the ways life can grow, change, new challenges.

      Blessings, Ellen
