We enjoy buying flower bouquets when we go to a store. As bouquets fade, we create new arrangements.
fog, green leaves
and beach grasses
a blue vase
with red carnations
by the window
trimming the stems
of carnations
and giving them
fresh water

a little wind
and a few leaves fall
from tree to garden
late Summer garden
and the lake in sun
blessings of friendship
2014
brown ferns
and daylily leaves
rest on the ground
in Autumn sun
late September yard

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
rice, beans
and spinach
with olive oil
sun on the old path
poetry
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
