Rain: Short Poems
afternoon rain
seagulls on pilings
wait to fly again
rain today
red geraniums
by grey windows
fog and rain
near and far
bird songs
rain and wind
flower petals
on the wood porch
R efresh and renew
A ppreciate plants in all their stages
I nvite new dreams as we age and life changes
N ever without hope
RAIN acrostic poem
Creative Note: Hope and Gratitude
This year, Easter And Spring Poetry reached 500 Followers. The posts are new, and I also reprint content in new ways. An old haiku with vintage art, or a new photo – and the post is new.

Some pictures for my April poem yesterday, from wpclipart. And “we followed the song” may inspire another poem.
Garden Journal Notes
Here are a few examples for March.
early March
snow covers the ground
and it is cold
yet evergreen branches
on tall weathered trees sing
in light morning winds
and tell a different story
early Spring
in the yard
near the house
daylilies begin
to grow
early morning
and wondering
how best to work
Karl calls to me –
first robin in the yard
small snowdrops
continue to bloom
remembrance
Lent begins
and Spring soon
love, hope
and prayers
“Lent begins” is a new poem yesterday at Short Holiday Poems (large print version).


Two February Poems
beloved country roads
the images that went
past my mind and
to my soul
now old friends
and around the bend
seagulls rise
from corn stubble
Winter fields
a new week . . .
sky the color
of overnight
snowfall
white and green branches
stillness of evergreens
Tree Poems
Poems from my archives, to follow my post Bloganuary prompt for January 30, 2022.
tree farm
young trees grow
alongside the old
grey clouds
and Norway Spruce
tree in the wind
a restful view
Sunday morning
tree branches
bowed to the ground
seemingly half-broken
covered with new leaves
my notebook of prayers
beginning
in the area
where we had
to take a tree down
new peony leaves
many Springs
yellow primroses
near an old tree
