now that I know
their name
I see them everywhere
hydrangeas

now that I know
their name
I see them everywhere
hydrangeas
time of year I remember
when winter is long
and spring takes time
August gardens and
wildflowers by the roads
gardens grow well
in rain and sun
tall purple flowers
lily and hosta plants
today’s garden beauty
summer begins
yellow roses
in the blue vase
by windows
in the sunroom
early light yellow roses in the sunroom
POEMS FROM OOSTBURG, WISCONSIN
last week in April
and music is new
bird songs
snow on the branch
where birds visit
in Spring
reading Psalms
more beauty and
comfort every year
forsythia
in Winter sun
beautiful today
and will bloom again
in forsythia time
blue sky
and snow on evergreens
