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

more poems
more poems
than I can write
morning work
and then leaves
in light and pine cones
on the spruce tree

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
late Summer garden
late Summer garden
and the lake in sun
blessings of friendship

brown ferns
and daylily leaves
rest on the ground
in Autumn sun

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