a little wind
and a few leaves fall
from tree to garden

Afternoon Study Time
I read poetry journals, and sometimes may read a poem several times, before the language flows for me. The days vary. And I select different books from my collection over the week, and read a few poems by different authors. I think about place, and where the poets are from. So much in common.
memories
from long ago
books from the library
books I can buy
and keep on a shelf
early morning
early morning
light on an old painting
in a new place
And I remember an older poem.
rearranging
art on the walls
cards, and small gifts
from friends
I see them anew
mid-September
mid-September
pumpkins for sale
at the stores
late Summer afternoon
and happy to wait
with the cart for Karl
by the doors at Walmart
errands in Sheboygan
on a beautiful day
Pick ‘n Save and Walmart
And now I remember this poem:
late afternoon
on a warm Fall day
people of all ages
at the market
time for supper
Mentink’s Market Piggly Wiggly

Saturday morning
birds that stay
visit the birch tree
time for lunch
cardinals by a pumpkin
in the garden
Creative Note: Poems From Psalms And Nature
This week, I wrote three new poems at Poems From Psalms And Nature. The theme is “Grateful Today.”
with art we can keep
what may seem lost
create with faith
the best we can
gifts to receive
and then let go
only for a time
garden perennials
plants and flowers
through the seasons
how welcome the snowdrops
in Spring – daffodils, tulips
and primroses
Summer in our yard
offers daylilies, hosta, goldenrod
hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees
chrysanthemums, coneflowers,
and asters – how wonderful
to grow so well when so much
is past for the year
Creative Note: Time Of Singing poetry journal
I am reading poems from Time Of Singing, Volume 48 Number 2, Summer 2021. Lora Homan Zill is the Editor. Ken Gibble is the Contributing Editor for this issue. The photography is by Bobbie Rochow. Wind & Water Press is the publisher, from Conneaut Lake, PA.
These are some of my Fall poems that were published by Time Of Singing (TOS).
how gentle the wind
in predawn rose light
after the harvest moon
I begin October
with small and growing hopes
TOS, Fall 2012
late November
sun fills a glass
for a time
TOS, Fall 2013
my large print Bible
rests on the Thanksgiving tray
the bread of life
reading poetry
my coffee gets cold
guess I made it
for the fragrance
TOS, Fall 2016
