cooler weather and strong winds
all the leaves falling and we see the shapes of trees
light streams into the house as the sun moves south
red geraniums still bloom
October turns to face November

Poems are by Ellen Grace Olinger.
But as it is written,
eye hath not seen,
nor ear heard,
neither have entered
into the heart of man,
the things which
God hath prepared
for them that love him.
1 Corinthians 2: 9 (KJV)

raindrops
on hosta plants
so beautiful
with and without
flowers
their leaves
in the sun
quiet grey morning
all the books
I hope to read
quiet grey morning
a page or two
and the restful view
rain and wind
flower petals
on the wood porch
local corn
and soybean fields
turning gold
wildflowers
in the yard
and along the roads

reading poetry
my coffee gets cold

You are welcome to reprint my poems with proper credit. Ideas include bulletin boards in classrooms, libraries, hospitals, nursing homes – places where a short poem may be an encouragement to someone or help with a poetry lesson. Thank you.

on the horizon
all the goals
I can still
try to reach
books on the shelf
supported by each other
kindness of friends
