Post update August 16, 2026

plants and flowers grow
in summer gardens
sounds of work outside
daylilies bloom soon
books and journals
to read again
green leaves
in sun and a little wind
new poems
time in the kitchen
on an early July morning
an open summer window
and bird songs
bird on a branch
with summer leaves
pages of poetry
I am reading from Time Of Singing poetry journal.
My poems in this post are from Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin.
Ellen Grace Olinger
