sometimes faded
words live in my heart

March Poems
new library books
and wandering home
on all the roads
fields, spring air, sky

they begin
to turn yellow
in this day’s sun
and will bloom soon
daffodils from the store

near the garage
on a cold March day
bird songs

March days
time to observe
and watch for
all the beginnings

Creativity Over Time
When I write posts that review work over a long time – for example, my post yesterday for the Daily Prompt – it is an encouragement to see creativity over time.
Times I have been unable to write I was still growing as a writer. And someone may have been reading a poem from years ago.
the years
that were so hard
and yet
they gave me
my stories
gifts of silence
and beauty
in the middle
of difficult times
unconditional love
are the stronger
memories now
The seasons are an inspiration.

cold
Lake Michigan winds
a tiny bird
seeks shelter
by the kitchen window
grey beautiful sky
evergreen trees
and short days
soon to be decorated
with holiday lights

November
As beautiful
as the other months are
and I think of daffodils and
daylilies, and October leaves
there is a special beauty
in November
just now forsythia leaves
are green-yellow, near the
yellow chrysanthemum
on a green chair, and the
old cedar tree and garage

third day in October
birch tree leaves
by my study window
are green and gold in sun
