sun and snow
on the garage roof
fewer colors
in the Winter yard
a peaceful scene

sun and snow
on the garage roof
fewer colors
in the Winter yard
a peaceful scene
new drawings
of tree branches
on the wall . . .
how the light falls
on a December day
POEMS FROM OOSTBURG, WISCONSIN
branches outside
the window grow
in different ways
friends we hear from
once a year
From my post, Cards and Letters
POEMS FROM OOSTBURG, WISCONSIN
C old and time to
O pen books, new and old
L oved and saved – for a
D ecember day
POEMS FROM OOSTBURG, WISCONSIN
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
Ellen Grace Olinger
Time of Singing,1991
From my post, Old Poem: And So My Soul. I thought it would be helpful to some readers to also offer a large print version.
POEMS FROM OOSTBURG, WISCONSIN
the faith of birds
trusting in seed
under snow
My haiku was published first in SMILE, a large print journal that was edited/published by Joyce M. Johnson.
snow today
red bow on the wreath
for the cedar tree
And these two poems are from Quiet Christmas Poetry:
wind freeing the snow
from evergreen branches
waterfalls
Christmas CDs
playing with the volume low
in the fields
the beauty of harvested
corn in snow
snow today post
