A poem from my archives, and reprinted at Poems For Bulletin Boards.

bright sunny day
and steadily they go by . . .
monarchs flying south

As Karl said, “Their epic journey.”

September Poems

we wait and watch
the train go by
in our small town
memories of my
Swedish grandparents

A few petunias
snapdragons, gold and white mums
the robins are gone.

Holding in my heart
as days become cold and dark
robins will return.

September leaves
in Sunday sun
prayers of love
and peace
for those in need

and steadily they go by . . .

to the store
on old beloved roads
light and wind
through fields of corn
birds fly together

pumpkins in the fields
and for sale
Autumn roads
