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
how quickly
another generation
grows
seems I only
looked away
for a moment
how good their work
how beautiful their art
These two poems are from my archives.
only now beginning
to find my place and poems
late-blooming rose
from the bush
planted long before
we came here
And what beautiful colors this time of year.
green still morning
blue sky and
cardinal songs
memoirs, poems,
and letters from
books written
over many years
tree with full leaves
providing shade
comfort of faith
loved for years
and now I know your name
blue chicory
wearing
my old sweater
worn thin
Queen Anne’s Lace
along country roads

I reprinted “wearing” at Large Print Poems. The post there was on August 8, 2020. My tanka was published at Charlotte Digregorio’s Writer’s Blog on October 17, 2020.
mid-June
plants and flowers
grow in gardens
perhaps I often say
“their best year so far”
old and new flowers
grow and bloom together
in the gardens
Yesterday afternoon, I heard this poem again (from July 2012).
recollections
of summers gone by
voices on the breeze
painting the day
with grace and prayer
watercolor sky
