sunrise
in early May
tiny bird sings
on the branch
of budding lilacs

tiny leaves
tiny leaves
on trees
no prayer
in my heart
too small for God
as I look through
as I look through
poetry books
from the last many years
some poets here
some poets there
FEBRUARY GARDEN
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
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
