early hours
of quiet and poetry
gardens overflow
and if some winter
my mind forgets
my heart will know

We’ve had a lot of rain.
Yesterday I went to Mead Public Library in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. I had not been there for a time. They had a large selection of used books for sale. I bought two poetry books, for less than one dollar. Lilacs were in bloom along the roads.
Then I stopped at Arby’s in Kohler. A young person held the door for me, and people were so kind. I am older now. I enjoyed a salad, and brought a cup of coffee home.

R ose clouds at sunrise, and the day
O pens to songs, silence, and new
S trength, with hope
E verlasting

Our pink peonies will bloom soon. My parents had red, white, and pink peonies in their yard.
