I began reviewing our Easter and Spring Poetry site. This year, I decided to reprint poems that readers seem to especially like in large bold print, with different images.

“Blessed are the Meek”
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

Christmas carnations
Christmas carnations
in the vase that used to hold
fresh flowers for Mom
blessings each in turn
return to bless us

December Poems
I created this collection for our site, Easter And Spring Poetry. I am staying in touch there through the seasons now. This is a reprint of the post yesterday.
“These poems are from posts at POEMS FROM OOSTBURG, WISCONSIN this year.”
peaceful time
with my blogs
remembrance
Midwest seasons
decades of life
each familiar
and yet always
new
reflections of lights
in the windows
with Norway Spruce
tree branches
and pine cones
new place
for the Christmas cactus
sunroom window
tall weathered tree
clouds and blue sky
fill the spaces
where branches
no longer grow
December sunrise
evergreens in wind
and light
December garden
evergreen light
wind and blue sky
Christmas Tanka by Carol Purington
On a drift of air
that circles the globe
from heart to heart,
continent to continent –
words of a carol
