Winter to Spring

·

Winter pumpkins
food for birds
and squirrels

by Spring
the pumpkins
will be gone and
daffodils will grow

and before Spring
here by Lake Michigan
flowers and plants
will bloom in stores

many books

many books
in my life and
poems to ponder

then time to reflect
and write the poem
that only I can write

tulip in a garden
of daylily leaves

February afternoon

·

blue sky
and sun shines
on the snow
that rests on
evergreen trees

shadows of trees
on the snow that
covers the path,
flower gardens,
and lawn

if the weather is not
too severe –

I thought of patients needing
to see their caregivers now, and
when I needed to reach my mother,
teach a class –

there is a solitude
a quiet now
like no other time
of the year
