roots in His Word
I will flower
again and again
cold so very cold
yet sunrise colors show me
flowers that will bloom
I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.
Psalm 116:1 (KJV)
snow shines on branches
with blue sky background
gift of another day
to say “thank you”
and create our art

fragrance of leaves
in the gardens
what good friends
we became
as we grew older

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

in a sunny corner

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. If someone reads a poem, and thinks, “I can write too,” that is wonderful.

evergreen trees
with their branches
in May winds
through another
winter and green
and growing
resilient
some broken branches
interesting shapes
shelter for birds
the years show
and they are
beautiful as
they bless
today
