My previous post and new poem, looking at envelopes, leads to some research about vintage images, and a blog collage.

looking at envelopes
looking at envelopes
I think, my father
would save these
and collect the
stamps
with art we can keep
with art we can keep
what may seem lost
create with faith
the best we can
My father taught history, and my mother taught English composition and literature. Every day includes both. And there were peonies in the yard. Grateful today.

Poem
November Wisconsin countryside
Bare trees elegant against the sky
Colors in the landscape muted now
October’s glory is gone
And love grows eternally

names and addresses post – May 25, 2020
names and addresses
for dear friends
no longer on earth
old address book
not yet written
in the overflowing book
cards and envelopes
with last known
addresses
still wanting to remember
what may no longer
be current – places I was
people I knew
