E verything I see today
M emorize and write one moment
POEM
poems and stories
poems and stories
to read, write, paint
and sing . . .
lilies of the valley
grow from
one garden
to another
Summer soon
Spring continues
to bless with primroses,
lilacs, forget-me-nots,
and bleeding hearts
Summer soon
and there will be peonies,
roses, daylilies, and hosta
flowers
Fall is welcome
in its time with
all the colors
and shorter days
Winter fades
from memory now
though not the beauty
and the quiet
Sometimes I wonder
where the years go
and what the seasons were
they are recorded here
Summer soon – June 7, 2019

We discovered the Little Free Library site a few years ago. Karl and I donated copies of Quiet Christmas Poetry to the free libraries in our area. We also gave a copy to our Oostburg Library in town.
Karl’s winter photo of the Lake Michigan beach, several years ago, is the Cover Art for Quiet Christmas Poetry.
And I am grateful for the WordPress.com free photo library.
