Some pictures for my April poem yesterday, from wpclipart. And “we followed the song” may inspire another poem.

April poem
yesterday I saw
my first robin
Karl heard a cardinal
singing in the yard
and we followed the song
to the bird in a tree
clouds and blue sky
clouds and blue sky
snow on spruce tree branches
near Lake Michigan
Good to have some snow. Because of colder weather, there is ice in the water and along the seawalls built last year. Some snow completes the picture, before Spring. Must be good for the fields before they are planted.
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.
dragonfly rests
dragonfly rests
for a moment
on the tree branch
long enough for me
to see each wing
July 2013
not always sure and yet I know
not always sure
when one flower
leaves the stage
and another begins
I look up from a page
or from the kitchen window
and purple phlox are gone
daylilies and hosta soon
not always sure
and yet I know
in winter
how gardens
will grow in time
from frozen earth
to snowdrops
lilies and goldenrod
evergreen branches
evergreen branches
with grey clouds
and blue sky
praying the Psalms
and as I worked
at the kitchen sink
birds in the yard
where gardens grow
