leaves fall
from the tree
by my window
to the garden where
lilies bloom in summer

leaves fall
from the tree
by my window
to the garden where
lilies bloom in summer
soft grey sky
and waves to shore
autumn songs
Lake Michigan in Wisconsin
new drawings
of tree branches
on the wall . . .
how the light falls
on a December day
POEMS FROM OOSTBURG, WISCONSIN
November
books new and old
to read by the window
gold leaves and wind
clouds and blue sky
dishes washed
and reading poetry
grateful for this day

POEMS FROM OOSTBURG, WISCONSIN
Autumn views
from the window
by my desk many years
and this year
the most beautiful
staying with light
I read in different corners
of the house
