February garden
light on evergreens
covered with snow
I still know the words
from songs long ago
New tanka – large print version
Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin
Category: Tanka
sun on a vase
sun on a vase
from my mother’s home
in the room where I write
she often asked,
“Are you writing?”
placing the new calendar
placing the new calendar
on the wall
all the new spaces
without words
God’s time
poems seen
poems seen
that did not
get written
frost painting
on the side door
reading the Christmas story
reading
the Christmas story
sounds
of carpenters
at work
all a day can hold
all a day can hold
sun and shadows
on the wood window frame
above my desk
in my small study
fall leaves
fall leaves
orange pumpkins
for the porch and
yellow flowers
for the sunroom
red begonia
red begonia
placed with two
orange pumpkins
near forsythia and fence
still blooms
trimming the stems
trimming the stems
of carnations
and giving them
fresh water
October sun
brown ferns
brown ferns
and daylily leaves
rest on the ground
in autumn sun
late September yard
