November garden
fallen leaves so much has died
a single rose blooms
I wrote “November garden” years and years ago. My poem was published in Pegasus, SMILE, and The Discerning Poet. Always grateful, always hope, always poems (reading and writing when I can). Blogs are a good way to create through many seasons.

This is the day which the LORD hath made;
we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalm 118: 24
For thou, O God,
hast heard my vows:
thou hast given me
the heritage
of those that fear thy name.
Psalm 61: 5 (KJV)
light snow
on harvested fields
peace of small roads
But we have this treasure
in earthen vessels,
that the excellency
of the power
may be of God,
and not of us.
2 Corinthians 4: 7 (KJV)
staying with light
I read in different corners
of the house
many roads
I no longer travel
more poems in the garden
than I could ever write
Jan Karon’s novels are excellent. I discovered The Mitford Museum site. The museum is in Hudson, NC and was founded by Jan Karon. The beautiful site includes more information and an online store.
The Psalms Series from 2020 featured short selections from the 150 Psalms. I began with the post, New Series From The Psalms (March 17, 2020). “My goal is to offer some moments of rest, beauty, and hope.”
This fall and winter, I plan to reprint a few posts. Perhaps the series is new for current readers, and those who have read before may enjoy a review. I often review past work on my sites.
Thank you to all who have visited Poems From Psalms And Nature for years, and those who are here today!
Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.
Psalm 5: 1
sometimes when I pray
before a meal, I remember
my grandmother’s prayers
in Swedish, and her voice
