Two Poems

yellow chrysanthemum
on an old green chair
in the yard and an orange
pumpkin near the door
fall stillness

Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin yesterday

Psalms to pray
and poems to read
sun on seawalls

names and addresses

names and addresses
for dear friends
no longer on earth
old address book

not yet written
in the overflowing book
cards and envelopes
with last known
addresses

still wanting to remember
what may no longer
be current – places I was
people I knew

Time of Singing, Spring 2018

“not yet written” and “still wanting to remember” were also published in All the Way Home: Aging in Haiku (2019). Edited by Robert Epstein. Middle Island Press; West Union, WV.
