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
days grow shorter
gentle turning
of windmills

and planning

what will grow
what should rest

summer begins
yellow roses
in the blue vase
by windows
in the sunroom
early light yellow roses in the sunroom
POEMS FROM OOSTBURG, WISCONSIN
one post at a time
with hope and beauty
new work grows
new arrangement
for flowers from stores
carnations last
humid July day
no need to water
the Christmas cactus
