on the mantel
moments of grace

haiku

path to the garage
deer discovered
the hosta plants

autumn days
are new each year
books to read again

warm soup
with fresh vegetables
autumn colors

summer to fall
willow branches
in sun and shadow

Poem from October 2014

almost autumn
moving my recliner
closer to new sun

September 12, 2012

almost autumn
today I have
an appointment
with the light and books
in my small study

September 15, 2022

home from mailing
poetry notes
monarch butterfly
greets me
at the back door

losses in life
low setting sun
through branches of trees
now rises again
as birds quietly sing
