willows weep and yet
how strong the branches
that hold their tears
In loving memory and hope
Memorial Day 2022
We live in a small town by Lake Michigan in Wisconsin. Today I sat in the sunroom, with the moon in the sky, and many reflections. Then work in the kitchen and blogs. So grateful for all that blogs bring to the world, and to our lives here. Someone is always sending out hope and beauty. A photo, poem, painting, stories, essays, and news of the seasons where they live – and more posts. Thank you.
This year, Easter And Spring Poetry reached 500 Followers. I also share content from this site there. Thank you.
reading haiku
all the places we live
all we have in common
My poem was inspired by the Haiku Society of America members anthologies.
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.
“This is the day”
and I rejoice
light snow on the garage roof
and the brick path
warm water to wash
breakfast dishes
music and books
home
This is the day which the LORD hath made;
we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalm 118: 24
A new poem yesterday to follow my post, Bloganuary prompt for January 15, 2022, at POEMS FROM OOSTBURG, WISCONSIN. The question was What is a life lesson you feel everyone can benefit from learning?
