we drove North
we drove North
to see Fall colors
along the way
snow fell and
lightly covered
fields of soybeans,
corn, and other crops
and the wind
painted one side
of tall trees
with the snow
My poem is from my post for October 20, 2018.
a little wind
a little wind
and a few leaves fall
from tree to garden
more poems
more poems
than I can write
morning work
and then leaves
in light and pine cones
on the spruce tree

Creative Note: Poems From Psalms And Nature
This week, I wrote three new poems at Poems From Psalms And Nature. The theme is “Grateful Today.”
with art we can keep
what may seem lost
create with faith
the best we can
gifts to receive
and then let go
only for a time
garden perennials
plants and flowers
through the seasons
how welcome the snowdrops
in Spring – daffodils, tulips
and primroses
Summer in our yard
offers daylilies, hosta, goldenrod
hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees
chrysanthemums, coneflowers,
and asters – how wonderful
to grow so well when so much
is past for the year
calendar
calendar
by my computer
with all kinds of notes
handwritten cards sent
health care appointments
and record of progress
work continues
I look back
and I look forward
blessings of today
quiet poems
pink clouds
over Lake Michigan
as I listen to old hymns
my heart gathers peace
for this day
how small the song
of an unknown bird
quiet memories
paintings of trees
on old pine walls
quiet music
