November Wisconsin countryside
Bare trees elegant against the sky
Colors in the landscape muted now
October’s glory is gone
And love grows eternally

Poems From Psalms And Nature and Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin
yard work
rest a few minutes
in an old chair
light through leaves
on old trees
days grow shorter
gentle turning
of windmills
poems we read
again and again
washing an old plate
the pattern still new
collage of colors
and shapes on my shelves
books, journals, and small gifts
