country cemetery
trumpet vines
growing taller
than the gravestones
The small cemeteries by the country roads are maintained with care.
My poem was published by Time Of Singing Summer 2012.

slowing down
even more . . .
wild turkeys
cross a country road
in peace

POEMS FROM OOSTBURG, WISCONSIN
new poems
some water
for the Christmas cactus
new buds grow
red begonia
placed with two
orange pumpkins
near forsythia and fence
still blooms
afternoon drive
roads we know well
autumn in Wisconsin
streetlights in small towns
Sunday evening
mid-October
green and gold hosta leaves
by the ash tree stump
From posts on different days at Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin

This is a summer poem. The small cemeteries by the country roads are maintained with care. I added this poem to my list for my book about Wisconsin Seasons and Encouragement. “country cemetery” was published in Time Of Singing (2012).

BELOVED COUNTRY ROADS
beloved country roads
the images that went
past my mind and
to my soul
now old friends
and around the bend
seagulls rise
from corn stubble
winter fields
