Emily Dickinson
on a rainy day
gold leaf stays
on the branch
October 2018
bright sunrise
icicles on fallen branches
near the water
November 2018
towards
the shortest day
of the year
Light
in my heart
November 2018
predawn
shapes of trees
and branches
with few leaves
predawn
drawing a picture
with a poem
November 2019
sunrise . . .
small branch growing
from the old tree trunk
October 2011
many sparrows play
in evergreen trees
perfect harmony
October 2012
cold
Lake Michigan winds
a tiny bird
seeks shelter
by the kitchen window
November 2013
new garden
in October
Autumn light
mid-October
enough change
to inspire thoughts
of November
October 2015
small evergreen branch
apart from its tree
caught by and adding green
to a birch tree branch
with few gold leaves
November 2015
October goes by
one day at a time
lowering
storm windows
here and there
2016
bright October day
Fall days begin to go by
a poem holds the view
still for a moment
some time
in my small study
so I do not miss
small gold leaves
in the wind
calm weather
still life arrangement
with quiet Fall colors
October 9, 2021 – My Best Short Nature Poems
gold leaves
and evergreens
what changes
and what stays
the same

If you follow more than one of my sites, you know that I like to reprint poems in different ways; and try new ideas with design, colors, and images. As I review my archives, I may see that I can edit a poem better. I also reblog posts, and you are welcome to reblog too.
Large Print Poems is now in its second year. I place these posts in all kinds of Categories and Tags, including Assisted Living, Nursing Homes, Education, Language Arts, Photography, and Libraries. This is a free resource that is growing slowly. Sometimes large print is best for me now as well.
Perhaps on some Sunday mornings, I can review the week in a post here. The blogs bring together my experience over years. Times I have been away – and then so easy to begin again here when the time is right. One step at a time.
Thank you and blessings,
Ellen Grace Olinger
