Mid-May Garden Poems
This morning, I am trying some ideas for short poems, from what I wrote yesterday.
grateful
to see old friends
time in the yard
flowers bloom
and bees visit
the gardens
primroses, ferns
daffodils, and
bleeding hearts
lily and hyacinth
plants from stores
now by the back door
new green leaves
new green leaves
on trees that knew
the colors
of dramatic autumn
in silence sometimes
and in small ways
new dreams grow

Daily writing prompt
Describe a risk you took that you do not regret.
I am grateful for the ability to write and publish my work with blogs. And grateful to the editors and publishers who have shared a few of my poems with their readers – print journals and books, and online journals.
I enjoy creating posts where I can follow a poem through the years.
Here is an example from Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin on February 24, 2023. I will reprint the post. Thank you for reading here today.

Changes, Care, Prayer
Daily writing prompt
How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic?
We have adapted well. The Daily writing prompts are a good way to learn about more blogs, and perhaps new readers visit here. I am always grateful to see how readers are from different generations and from over the years. We continue to take great care.
From March 2020 to July 2020, I posted a verse from the Psalms, every day, with a picture (please see Archives). Then I worked with the content and created Pages (right sidebar).
The first post was on March 17, 2020: New Series From The Psalms.
And as I worked, I was grateful to discover this Bible verse.
God be merciful unto us, and bless us;
and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah.
That thy way may be known upon earth,
thy saving health among all nations.
Psalm 67: 1 – 2
Grateful for Blogs
Daily writing prompt
What’s a secret skill or ability you have or wish you had?
There is always more to learn, and I am grateful for all I learn with blogs. Karl helped me begin our first site, Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin, in December 2009. I remember learning how to create a simple post, and the good achievement that was for me. I wanted to reprint some of my poems from print journals, share them with more people, and also thank the editors and publishers. Perhaps a few new readers found their work too.
Now I write drafts of new poems as I create and work here. There may be several revisions before I publish the post. Learning how to add images was a new skill.
I also began a handwritten journal again yesterday, and wrote about that in a post at the Oostburg, Wisconsin blog: Spring Gifts. The journal is from Beverly Dyer – I learned of her art from her blog.
So much more to learn, and I am grateful. Sometimes I stay with what I already know for awhile, and then learn a little more. Thank you.
