November
As beautiful
as the other months are
and I think of daffodils and
daylilies, and October leaves
there is a special beauty
in November
just now forsythia leaves
are green-yellow, near the
yellow chrysanthemum
on a green chair, and the
old cedar tree and garage

a few Christmas songs . . .

ordering
a Christmas wreath
for my parents’ graves
even though I know
they are not there

This post is reprinted here, from new posts at POEMS FROM PSALMS AND NATURE.
July is when our daylilies bloom. Old perennial plants that are new every year. There are so many good books to read. I look at the perennials and think about what lasts and blesses readers over time.
I appreciate book reviews and am reading from a few books I learned about from Time of Singing poetry journal.
We also enjoy donating poetry journals and books to thrift stores. Perhaps someone may discover poetry and write a poem!
My Summer Reading Plan this year is to read from my small home library. Then in the Fall I will look at some new books as well. And of course my plan can be adjusted – just a way to think about summer this year.
early July
books on the shelves
to read again
prayers that live
prayers that live
in my heart
The Psalms
Two Poems
snowdrops
bloom and grow
April snow
grey day
lilies in a vase
by the window
turning the vase
turning the vase
of flowers
learning
there are
more roses
