POEMS FROM OOSTBURG, WISCONSIN and Large Print Poems

path to the garage
deer discovered
the hosta plants
garden perennials
grow and rest
return again

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.
