OLD SONGS EVER NEW
old songs
Winter and then
another Spring
Summer follows
and then Autumn
old songs ever new
the Midwest through
all my years so far
and old songs still new
Poem from January 2021
Ellen Grace Olinger
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

C old and time to
O pen books, new and old
L oved and saved – for a
D ecember day
First written for a post on December 7, 2013.
And so my soul
Spills over
Into print again
As the sun spills
Over flowers
And the neighborhood
Sleeps
Endurance is eloquent
And marigolds are
Admirable because
They bloom
So long
Oh, my heart
Is tender
Yet God keeps it
Strong
And so my soul
Spills over
Into print again

Midwest seasons
decades of life
each familiar
and yet always
new
