cold
Lake Michigan winds
a tiny bird
seeks shelter
by the kitchen window
grey beautiful sky
evergreen trees
and short days
soon to be decorated
with holiday lights

November
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

colder weather
colder weather
time for an old coat
(and I don’t know how old)
that works well
with an old sweater
Spring takes time
Spring takes time
by Lake Michigan
and was an adjustment
when we first moved here
I saw Spring flowers first
at my mother’s home
and then later here
further North and East
each bird and flower now
an event and gift
New poem today, and a few Spring 2022 poems so far, to see the progress:
daylight
Norway Spruce tree
covered with snow
early April
and warm enough
for rain
last week in April
and music is new
bird songs
May afternoon
some time outside
without my warm coat
every day a gift
Poems
sunrise
in early May
tiny bird sings
on the branch
of budding lilacs
2012
sunshine
along the roads
marsh marigolds
2013
another summer
art on the wall
by someone
long ago still
speaks to me
2014
late April and
late April and
the garden turns
towards May
primrose leaves
near the door
rain and Spring soon
rain and Spring soon
plants and flowers
will grow anew
in our gardens
and perhaps
some new plants
from a store
