poems written
in a notebook
a post and perhaps
published again
years later
autumn garden
with the light and rest
some work complete
and always more to do
a new season begins
autumn memories
my mother often quoted
from literature she knew well
the Psalms, Shakespeare, novels
and even later when others
may not have understood
I knew what she was saying

sunrise
green leaves and wind
summer to fall
there are poems
in the clouds and
sunrise
and light seen
on the garage
from the kitchen
and one yellow leaf
on the birch tree
there are always poems

Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin
almost autumn
moving my recliner
closer to new sun

almost autumn
today I have
an appointment
with the light and books
in my small study

2022 Review – I am memorizing the sequence of poems as I create these posts. Perhaps for a chapbook in the next year or two. How do poems from over the years work together? I also hope to remember the journals and editors. And a cover art photo by Karl . . .
